Residential building survey site notes
Making an accurate and legible record of the inspection, to be maintained on file for at least 15 years, is essential. Queries can be raised several months or years after the job has been carried out and it gives an unprofessional impression if site notes are unavailable. Indeed, mounting a defence to a negligence claim often relies upon a complete set of site notes, or records made of contract discussions. Such notes therefore form a retrospective record of conduct and behaviour, and are prima facie evidence of the surveyor's competence.
This is a form that can be used to record these site notes during the inspection. -
CDM designer competency questionnaire
Questionnaire to assess the competency of a designer in compliance with CDM 2007, with criteria for assessment.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) came into force in April 2007 and apply to construction work in Great Britain. CDM is intended to protect the health and safety of people working in construction and others who may be affected by their activities. -
Accessibility audit example layout
There are many different styles of accessibility audit within the industry, with no real right or wrong version. The usefulness, detail and readability of audit reports varies considerably. To an extent, client requirements will dictate the type and style used. It is important to discuss this with the client and ask the question as to what the client hopes to achieve from the audit.
This form is an example of a possible layout for an audit and recommendations. -
Access Consultant terms and conditions of engagement
The National Register of Access Consultants (NRAC) was established in 1999 to accredit access auditors and access consultants. This was the first recognised UK body of its kind. These are the terms and conditions for engaging an access consultant or access auditor under disability discrimination/equality legislation.
The amended text of the Terms and conditions for the engagement of an Access Consultant or Access Auditor is reproduced here with the permission of the NRAC. -
Display screen equipment assessment
Display screen equipment (DSE) is any work equipment having a screen that displays information. Typical examples are computer screens. This is an individual work station assessment form to evaluate display screen equipment according to health and safety policy.

Neighbouring land access agreement
A possible disadvantage to the Access to Neighbouring Land Act is that access is only available after following the court procedure to obtain an Access Order from the courts. This can take weeks if not months and can be a particular frustration if access is needed within a shorter time period.
This is a template for an informal agreement that could be worked towards outside of the courts.
Please note that surveyors' PII will not cover comments on levels of insurance, so clause 5.7 should be completed by the client. -
Suggested acknowledgment of party structure notice
A party structure notice, under section 3 of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, describes the intention to exercise rights, conferred under section 2, to undertake certain works to a party structure and certain limited works to an adjoining owner's independent building (minimum notice period is two months). The required notices must be served on all adjoining owners with an interest in the relevant structures or land. Once the notice is received the notified party can then consent or dissent to the proposal.
This document is a sample template for such a response. -
Suggested draft award
A party wall award must be produced by the agreed surveyor or two of the appointed surveyors. This is a standard recommended party wall award template, but surveyors need to modify this to suit any particular project.
The award will usually include relevant drawings of the notifiable works, method statements, a schedule of condition and any limitations on the time and manner of carrying out the work.
Surveyors will agree the working conditions, such as hours for noisy works, whether weekend working is acceptable, protection required to any exposed party walls, security for expenses arrangements and fees to be paid and by whom. Method statements may be attached for a particular operation such as demolition or details of access onto the adjoining owner's land.
The award should make express provision for making good damage caused by works under this Act. -
Suggested letter requiring an adjoining owner (or building owner) to appoint a surveyor
The appointment of a surveyor arises out of a dispute between the two owners, following service of notice. A dispute arises when there is an express dissent to a notice or when a party structure notice or notice of adjacent excavation is not responded to by the adjoining owner within 14 days.
In either of these situations the parties must then appoint surveyors. They can either agree the appointment of a single surveyor who will be the agreed surveyor or each appoint their own separate surveyor.
This is a template letter for requesting another party appoint a surveyor. -
Suggested letter requiring an appointed surveyor to act effectively
This is a template letter for requesting a surveyor involved in a party wall dispute act, after they have previously provided no response to a draft award.
-
Suggested letter to accompany a typical section 3 or 6 notice
A notice under section 6 of the Party Wall Act, for foundation or excavation works, must be served one month before work is intended to commence. The notice must be accompanied by plans and sections showing the location of the works and the site and depth of any excavation.
This is a template for a letter to accompany a notice under section 3 or section 6. -
Suggested letter to appointing owners upon service of the party wall award
The party wall award must be served on the parties and becomes legally binding. The parties have the right to appeal against the award in a County Court within 14 days if they feel that it has been made improperly. A building owner is not obliged to delay commencing work for 14 days while waiting to see if an appeal is lodged although there may be circumstances in which the surveyors impose a 14 day delay, as they are entitled to do.
This is a template for a letter to accompany such an award. -
Party walls selection of the third surveyor
In party wall procedures, the third surveyor has a powerful but rarely used role. One of the first duties of the appointed surveyors is to select a third surveyor, but current protocol does not require the third surveyor to be notified of this appointment as in most cases he or she will not be required.
Either of the surveyors or the parties may call upon the third surveyor to determine disputed matters. The third surveyor can either act with one of the other two surveyors to make the award or, where a specific matter in dispute is referred to him or her, may make his or her own award.
This document is a sample letter for proposing the selection of a third surveyor. -
Party walls specimen schedule of condition
The schedule of condition records the condition of relevant parts of an adjoining owner's property before the start of the building owner's works. It enables the surveyors, at a later date, to determine the extent of the building owner's liability for damage caused by the works.
It is good practice in practically all cases to prepare a schedule of condition of adjoining properties prior to work commencing and for that schedule of condition to form part of the award document.
This document is an example of a schedule of condition, providing a suggested layout. -
Rights of light form of release
The subject of rights to light concerns the assessment of whether a proposed obstruction (for example, an additional storey on a building) is likely to interfere materially with a neighbour's easement of light.
This is a template for a notice providing consent to the construction of a building in accordance with given conditions. -
Rights of light registration application
The subject of rights to light concerns the assessment of whether a proposed obstruction (for example, an additional storey on a building) is likely to interfere materially with a neighbour's easement of light.
A servient owner can prevent a dominant owner from acquiring a right to light to the dominant owner's windows over the servient owner's land by erecting an opaque structure in front of the dominant owner's windows. However, these can be difficult to erect and may require planning permission. A better alternative is often to create a notional obstruction by registering a light obstruction notice under section 2 (1) of the Rights of Light Act 1959. The light notice can be registered with the local authority as a local land charge for a period of one year.
This is a form for registering such a notional instruction. -
Dilapidations: typical release form
Example agreement for the purposes of releasing the lessee from their dilapidations liabilities in return for financial compensation from the lessor.
-
Rent review inspection notes
The first role for any surveyor when instructed to advise either a landlord or a tenant on a rent review is to request copies of the lease and other relevant legal documents (e.g. licences for alteration and deeds of variation). Included should be as much information about the property as possible (including floor plans, a note of previous floor areas, information about works carried out by the tenant, and so on).
The surveyor should then inspect and measure the property and calculate the floor areas. This form is for making notes during such an inspection. -
Landlord initiating rent review
Some leases require rent reviews to be triggered by one party (usually the landlord) giving a notice to the other party. In some cases, failure to give the notice in accordance with the terms of the lease may lose the right to have the rent reviewed at that time.
This is a sample letter that can serve as a trigger notice.
IMPORTANT: This letter is for general guidance only. You must read the lease and are strongly advised to take legal advice if this letter/notice is being served in accordance with specific terms of the lease. Such letter/notice may be invalid if directions in the lease are not strictly observed. -
Tenant initiating rent review
Depending on the type of rent review clause, frequently rent reviews may cause disputes between landlords and tenants, with the former seeking the highest increase at rent review and the latter the lowest. Some leases require rent reviews to be triggered by one party, this is a form letter for the triggering of a rent review by the tenant.
IMPORTANT: This letter is for general guidance only. You must read the lease and are strongly advised to take legal advice if this letter/notice is being served in accordance with specific terms of the lease. Such letter/notice may be invalid if directions in the lease are not strictly observed. -
Landlord proposing rent
Formal and informal letters for a landlord proposing the rent.
IMPORTANT: These letters are for general guidance only. You must read the lease and are strongly advised to take legal advice if this notice is being served in accordance with specific terms of the lease. Such letter/notice may be invalid if directions in the lease are not strictly observed. -
Tenant proposing rent
Some leases require service of a rent review trigger notice which shall specify a proposed rent, in which case this should be included in the notice.
The wording used in the notice should be based on the relevant words of the lease. If the review clause states that a trigger notice must be served 'stating the amount that the Landlord considers to be the open market rent', then the notice could say 'I consider the open market rent to be [amount]'.
Failure to state the proposed rent in the notice may invalidate the notice unless the court considers that this element was not intended to be mandatory. The safest course is to comply exactly with the requirements of the review clause for the contents of the notice.
These are two form letters for such a proposal by the tenant, both formal and informal. -
Tenant's rent review counternotice
Some leases that require a rent review to be triggered by notice also require or allow the recipient to serve a counternotice in response.
This is common where the trigger notice is to include a proposal for the new rent and normally gives the recipient the opportunity to state whether or not he or she agrees with that proposal and, if he or she disagrees, either to make a counter proposal or to require the matter to go to third party determination.
This is a form letter for a counternotice from the tenant to the landlord.
IMPORTANT: This letter is for general guidance only. You must read the lease and are strongly advised to take legal advice if this letter/notice is being served in accordance with specific terms of the lease. Such letter/notice may be invalid if directions in the lease are not strictly observed. -
Landlord's rent review counternotice
Some leases which require a rent review to be triggered by notice also require or allow the recipient to serve a counternotice in response.
This is common where the trigger notice is to include a proposal for the new rent and normally gives the recipient the opportunity to state whether or not he or she agrees with that proposal and, if he or she disagrees, either to make a counter proposal or to require the matter to go to third party determination.
This is a sample letter that can serve as a counternotice from a landlord following a tenant's initiation of a rent review. -
Rent review notice of reference to a third party
If it is not possible to settle the rent review amicably during negotiations, the rent review clause will generally lay down a procedure for the appointment of a third party. Provision will usually be made for the parties to attempt to agree themselves on the identity of a third party, or, in the absence of agreement, to apply to the president of RICS to make the appointment.
This is a sample letter used to inform one of the parties that the rent review has been referred to a third party.
IMPORTANT: This letter is for general guidance only. You must read the lease and are strongly advised to take legal advice if this letter/notice is being served in accordance with specific terms of the lease. Such letter/notice may be invalid if directions in the lease are not strictly observed. -
Rent review time of the essence notice
In rent review, a party may sometimes make time of the essence for a time limit by serving a formal notice on the party in default. This concept is familiar to conveyancing lawyers, but it is now firmly established that the remedy also applies to rent review.
This is a sample letter used to inform the landlord that the tenant is making time of the essence with respect to rent review. -
Rent review Calderbank offer
A Calderbank offer is a letter, expressed as 'without prejudice save as to costs', which contains an offer to the other party in the review inviting it to settle without taking the arbitration further. The letter must set out all terms to settle the dispute, principally rent and costs. It should also contain a time limit within which the other party may accept the offer.
IMPORTANT: Calderbank offers are binding offers to settle. You should ensure you have the appropriate authorisations and/or consents from your client and any other appropriate parties before such offers are made. -
Loan security valuation acknowledgment letter sample
This suggested letter provides a framework within which to tailor a loan security valuation acknowledgment for a particular case.

This document template is provided as a sample only. It is the user's responsibility to check and adapt this as necessary to suit the particular instruction and prevailing circumstances. -
Standard terms of business for valuations
Most firms who undertake regular valuation work have prepared standard pro formas for valuation contracts. There are a number of variations in use.
This template will help valuers to draw up contractual documents to meet the needs of their organisations. Valuers need to take into account its appropriateness to their business and the particular instruction.
This document template is provided as a sample only. It is the user's responsibility to check and adapt this as necessary to suit the particular instruction and prevailing circumstances. -
Terms of engagement acknowledgement letter
There are usually a range of letter formats referring to the terms of business and the valuation procedure and assumptions. Such letters of acknowledgement deal with the remaining matters required by Red Book to be dealt with in the contract, with these commonly varying from job to job. They must include a reference to all the minimum terms listed in Red Book with particular care being taken to make the necessary disclosures. The acknowledgement letter will take precedence over the 'standard' terms, but it may still be prudent to modify the standard clauses if they directly contradict any element of the service as expressed in the acknowledgement letter.
It is not possible to devise a standard letter, because every valuation commission depends on its specific circumstances – this sample gives an indication of how the letter could be drafted.
This document template is provided as a sample only. It is the user's responsibility to check and adapt this as necessary to suit the particular instruction and prevailing circumstances. -
Notice of intention to adjudicate
A notice of intention to adjudicate defines the dispute that is being referred to the adjudicator and prevents either the parties or the adjudicator from introducing other disputes. For example, a notice asking the adjudicator to decide whether or not the referring party is entitled to the sum claimed does not permit the adjudicator to decide how much is in fact due, if the adjudicator decides that the sum claimed is not due. In the case of ambiguity in the notice of intention to adjudicate, the notice will be construed against the referring party.
This is a template for a notice of intention to adjudicate. -

Arbitration Calderbank letter
A sample template Calderbank letter, for an offer to settle a matter of arbitration. Calderbank offers and offers made under Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules, are offers made to settle a dispute, usually the amount of the rent, on a without prejudice basis, except that the existence of the offer to settle may be brought to the attention of an arbitrator, an independent expert or a court if he or she has discretion when it comes to determining the matter of costs.
IMPORTANT: Calderbank offers are binding offers to settle. You should ensure you have the appropriate authorisations and/or consents from your client and any other appropriate parties before such offers are made. -

BCIS Standard form of cost analysis: Section 7 Analysis forms
Cost planning of construction projects has been used for 50 years to provide a methodology for keeping control of a capital build project. It provides a means of controlling the design process to meet the budgetary requirements of the client. It enables the quantity surveyor, with the design team, to design a building to a cost, rather than costing a design after it has been completed.

-
CDM health and safety file
The typical contents of a CDM health and safety file. The health and safety file is a document prepared and issued promptly following completion of the construction works containing information needed during future construction work (which includes future cleaning, maintenance, alterations, refurbishments and demolition work) at the same site or structure.
Information contained in the health and safety file is essential for those parties involved in or carrying out such future works, to alert them to any health and safety risks that should be considered in the planning or carrying out of such works. -
Comfort letter
A comfort letter expresses the intention of one of the parties to act in a particular way (for example, to enter into a contract), but does not create any legal obligation on that party actually to act in that way. The author of the letter will only be liable for deviating from the stated intended course of action if the expressed intention was not actually held at the time that the letter was signed.
-
Consent to spend
A sample consent to spend letter. Instructions to proceed with consent to spend are sometimes referred to as 'if' contracts, and usually take the following form:
'if you commence works pending preparation of the contract documents, then we will reimburse you your reasonable costs should the contract not be entered into.'
These agreements are legally binding contracts which pre-date and are superseded by the principal contract when it is executed. They must be entered into by a duly authorised representative of the party procuring the works. Consultants often make the mistake of issuing such letters on behalf of their clients. Unless the practitioner has authority to enter into contracts as the agent of his client, he or she should not sign such letters, but should leave it to the client to do so. -
Cost management change control log
Changes within construction projects are inevitable, but should be kept to a minimum and, when they do occur, controlled rigorously. For this to happen, there must be an adequate strategy and sufficient supporting documentation to record and manage the change control process.
This is a sample change control log for recording these changes. -
Cost management tender receipt opening form
Upon receiving tenders, and opening them at the previously agreed time, the amounts, together with brief comments (such as qualifications, the programme, the priced BQs received or not received) should be recorded on a standard tender return form. Each person present should sign the form to record that he or she was present and that it is a true and accurate record of the tender opening.
This form is a template sample tender receipt opening form for recording such an opening. -
Document management workflow
In the field of electronic document management, 'workflow' refers to a system in which documents are sent automatically from one user of the system to another or, more generally, where the flow of work between users is monitored electronically. This slideshow demonstrates how workflow is used to manage the life-cycle of drawings on a construction project.

KPI value chain
Key performance Indicators (KPIs) are a fundamental part of a performance management business philosophy and of performance measurement and continuous improvement initiatives. In brief, a KPI is simply an indicator of the status of something deemed to be important.
The Value Chain approach separates the activities of the firm into a sequential chain. It represents what an organisation does and the order in which it does it. Activities are usually shown sequentially, although in reality many are consecutive and iterative.
This document is an example of a value chain. -
Suggested line of junction notice
A line of junction notice describes the intention to construct a wall either astride or abutting a boundary, which is not presently built upon, or is built upon only to the extent of a simple boundary wall wholly on one party's land. (Minimum notice period is one month).
-
Suggested notice of adjacent excavation
The provisions of section 6 of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 (the Act) are designed to try to avoid the careless destabilising of the foundations to buildings and structures that are in close proximity to a development site. If works will involve excavation of any type (whether or not for foundations), and that excavation falls within certain dimensional parameters in relation to an adjoining building or structure, then notices must be served.
This document is a sample notice of adjacent excavation that can be issued in such circumstances. -
Suggested party structure notice
A party structure notice, under section 3 of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, describes the intention to exercise rights, conferred under section 2, to undertake certain works to a party structure and certain limited works to an adjoining owner's independent building (minimum notice period is two months). The required notices must be served on all adjoining owners with an interest in the relevant structures or land.
This document is a sample template for such a notice. -
PFI process map
The figure indicates key stages in a typical PFI project, in a diagrammatic form.
The process map reduces the PFI process to 14 distinct stages and provides an appropriate framework to capture the opportunities available for the lay practitioner at each stage of the process. The practitioner must be conscious of the fact that there are several variations within the public-sector specific guidance. In principle, however, these all describe the same process. -
PFI typical structure
The typical structure of a PFI project is shown in this document. It has been annotated to indicate where there is opportunity for the provision of professional consultancy services.
There is scope for the practitioner to provide professional consultancy services to the public-sector purchaser of the service; the private-sector operator (the private-sector provider); and the funders or investors in the project company. -

Recognition of existence of a binding contract
Letters recognising the existence of a binding contract between the parties may be used to execute the contract before the formalities of copying, binding and signing the contract have been completed.
A letter recognising the existence of a binding contract has similar effects to the execution of the contract itself. If the contract is repudiated after such a letter is in place, but before the contract itself has been signed, the employer will be liable for loss of profit by the contractor on the outstanding works.
This is a sample form of letter recognising the existence of a binding contract. -
Rights of light application for a certificate under section 2 of the Rights of Light Act 1959
The subject of rights to light concerns the assessment of whether a proposed obstruction (for example, an additional storey on a building) is likely to interfere materially with a neighbour's easement of light.
If time is a critical factor (for example, the dominant owner's windows are just on the point of attaining their prescriptive right to light), a temporary certificate can be requested as a matter of urgency.
This is a letter that can be used to apply for such a certificate. -

Whole life costing - Worked example 2 table
The whole life cost (WLC) of an asset is defined as the present value of the total cost of that asset over its operating life (including initial capital cost, maintenance and replacement cost, energy cost and the cost or benefit of the eventual disposal of the asset at the end of its life).
Whole life costing techniques can be used to evaluate options at the elemental, component and total building levels. For example, during the design process, it may be appropriate to compare window-cleaning access options or alternative heating solutions. At the initial design stage, a whole life comparison of building refurbishment against demolition and new build would recognise the life-cycle efficiencies of the latter, and could be crucial to efforts to establish the correct way forward.
Examples of each of these option appraisal calculations are included in this table and the other two parts of the worked example. -

Environmental impact assessment checklist
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process used to anticipate the environmental consequences of a development before planning permission is granted. This sort of assessment is required for certain projects defined under EU regulations. The process involves determining whether an EIA is required for the project (screening) and deciding which issues should be assessed (scoping), before completing the assessment process.
This is a list of contents that could appear in such an assessment. -
Memorandum of agreement for the appointment of an expert environmental consultant
Environmental investigations and audits have for some time been a growth area and the number of consultancies has mushroomed. There are now over 400 consultancies in the UK.
There are a wide variety of consultancies available, ranging from the very common, small domestic consultancy (turnover £100,000 or less) at one end of the market, to UK divisions of large foreign engineering and environmental consultancies at the other. Firms of chartered surveyors can now achieve specialisms as chartered environmental surveyors offering environmental expertise with an understanding of property as well as environmental issues. In addition, many of the UK engineering companies have set up dedicated divisions within their overall operating structure to provide these services.
This document is a sample template for a memorandum of agreement for the appointment of an expert environmental consultant. -

Work programme for sustainability appraisal
The aim of sustainability assessment is to demonstrate how a particular development proposal will meet the goals of sustainable development. The scope, detail and content of a sustainability assessment will vary from case to case depending upon the size of the proposed development and the extent of the expected impacts.
The information required for the assessment should include a description of the proposal, a site analysis, detail of the significant effects and any appropriate solutions or mitigation measures to offset adverse impacts.
This form provides a schedule of activities which are required to meet the assessment measures of each of the typical sustainability criteria, covering environmental, economic and social criteria. -
PFI scope for the provision of professional consultancy services

Whole life costing - Discount factor tables
The whole life costing (WLC) technique is concerned with the assessment of the time stream of costs and revenues that will flow throughout the life of a construction project option.
As 'money today' has a different value to 'money tomorrow' or 'money in 10 years' time', a technique has to be adopted that will express future costs or revenues in present values for comparative purposes. The process of converting 'future money' to 'present money' is called 'discounting'.
Discounting involves establishing the discount rate to be used. In making a decision on a discount rate for a particular project, some judgment will need to be exercised about the degree of risk return (interest) and the likely levels of future inflation rates.
These tables provide assistance in calculating the discount rate and are taken from pages 45-47 in Part 2, section 2 of the old Surveyor's Construction Handbook. -

A major feature of defects claims litigation is the Scott Schedule. This can be a particularly useful way of establishing the linkage between cause and effect in any given set of circumstances.
This is a typical Scott Schedule providing the landlord's item-by-item claim schedule and the tenant's item-by-item response.
A completed example is also given for reference (from Appendix D of the Dilapidations guidance note). -
Schedule of dilapidations
The schedule of dilapidations is an extremely important document which, if proven, inevitably has a significant impact on the party receiving the claim. This is usually a tenant but not in every case. It is a document that will be put in front of the court should legal proceedings follow and upon which a claim will be based.
Taken from the 6th edition of the RICS Dilapidations guidance note, this is a sample schedule of dilapidations.
The completed example is taken from the 5th edition of the RICS Dilapidations guidance note. -
Access Statement example
Access Statements should be prepared at the planning stage and will need to be submitted for both planning purposes and then subsequently developed for submission with the Building Regulation application. The actual requirement to submit an Access Statement to Building Control will largely depend upon the local enforcing authority.
This example Access Statement can be used to develop your own Access Statement. -
Project monitor drawdown letter
The project monitor will frequently be required to provide a recommendation to the bank or fund on the drawdown of development expenditure. Typically the developer will submit a drawdown request including a cumulative summary of costs incurred to date together with supporting documentation i.e. architect's certificates, fee invoices, etc.
The project monitor should review and check the drawdown request by comparing it with the cashflow forecast and any budgets or cost plans provided in the development agreement or in the initial audit report. It is important that the project monitor advises the client if any budgets or cost plans have been, or are like to be, exceeded.
At the end of this exercise the project monitor should make a payment recommendation to the bank or fund based on the information received. This document is a sample letter making such a recommendation. -
Project monitor initial audit report
The initial audit report provides the opportunity for the project monitor to fully acquaint itself with the proposed scheme. Once complete, the report should provide a complete picture of the project including the desired specification, design brief and constraints: the development appraisal and associated cost build-ups; the design and construction programmes; and the design and construction team. Using its experience, the project monitor will then be able to advise the bank or fund on the risks associated with the project and fully appreciate the consequences of variations or changes, as they arise.
This is a sample initial audit report. -
Project monitor initial report format
The initial audit report provides the opportunity for the project monitor to fully acquaint itself with the proposed scheme. Once complete, the report should provide a complete picture of the project including the desired specification, design brief and constraints:
• the development appraisal and associated cost build-ups;
• the design and construction programmes; and

This is an example of the format for the initial audit report. -
Project monitor instruction letter
It is particularly important that the role of the project monitor is clearly understood by both the bank or fund and the developer. This will allow the project monitor to carry out its role in an effective manner and make a positive contribution to the development team as a whole.
This is a sample letter for instructing a project monitor on their role. -

Site waste management plan
A key tool in achieving effective waste management and minimisation is through the implementation of a site waste management plan, which for some sites is a legal obligation.
The form below is a sample form for such a waste management plan. -
Notice to defer commencement of works
If the employer fails to afford possession of the site on the agreed date (or within a reasonable time), the contract may expressly provide for the consequences of such failure. For example, clause 2.5 of the JCT 2005 Standard Form of Building Contract (if stated to apply), permits the employer to defer giving possession of the site for a period not exceeding 6 weeks calculated from the relevant 'Date of Possession' provided for in the contract.
This is a template for a notice to defer commencement of works. -

Confirmation of verbal instruction
A sample template for confirmation of verbal instruction.
Under the JCT 2005 Standard Building Contract there is the facility for instructions to be issued orally by the architect/contract administrator as well as in writing. In this situation the contractor is to confirm the oral instruction (more commonly referred to as a verbal instruction) to the architect/contract administrator within seven days of receiving the verbal instruction. If the architect/contract administrator does not dissent from that confirmation within seven days from receipt of the written confirmation, the instruction then takes effect (as confirmed under clause 3.12.2).
Oral confirmation sheets (also referred to as confirmation of verbal instruction, or CVI sheets) are frequently used by contractors operating under this (and similar forms of contract). -
Information release schedule
Construction information is vital to all projects and virtually impossible to construct a project without. An information release schedule is a two column document detailing what information needs to be provided, along with a corresponding date indicating when that information is to be provided.

-
Request for information
Due to the regular need to seek further information/instructions, contractors will normally operate a system of request for information sheets in conjunction with an information request schedule. Request for information sheets (commonly referred to as RFI sheets) will normally detail a particular and precise piece of information needed (e.g. the thickness of door D101) and will state the latest date when that information is to be provided. When raised, the request for information sheets are recorded on and added to the information request schedule.
This is a sample request for information sheet. -

Tenancy deposit protection certificate
Not all tenancy deposit schemes automatically provide tenants with all the necessary information to comply with regulation 2 of SI 2007/797. Notably, the DPS scheme leaves it to the landlord to supply a substantial amount of this information, and most particularly the information required by reg. 2(g). This is a potential minefield for landlords who have properly registered their deposits and may believe that they are fully compliant with TDP. Many of these landlords have failed to provide appropriate prescribed information to the tenant and they will therefore find themselves in violation of the law in relation to TDP, and subject to the penalties set out below.
This form will fill in the gaps left by the DPS scheme and thereby satisfy the requirements of reg. 2. -

Section 13 notice
In a tenancy which falls under the Housing Act 1988 there are statutory processes for increasing the rent. This is provided by section 13 of the Act and the accompanying notice.
It is important to understand the purpose of the section 13 procedure. It is intended to allow landlords to have a means of increasing rent during periodic tenancies. It is not available to use during the fixed term of the tenancy. It was envisaged that this would be important as the Housing Act 1988 specifically allows for periodic tenancies to occur and continue for substantial time periods. However, the process is specifically subject to certain controls to prevent landlords getting rid of tenants by massively increasing the rent. This control process is the right for the tenant to refer the rent proposed by the section 13 notice to a Rent Assessment Committee (RAC) for them to determine whether that rent is a fair market rent for the property. A notice under section 13 has a prescribed form and must be filled in accurately. The notice must give the tenant not less than one month's notice (or one period of the tenancy if this is longer). The notice must also expire at the beginning of a period of the tenancy, which should be the day the rent is due.
The link below is to a Word document of the prescribed form available from Communities and Local Government. The form is titled 'Form No.4B: Landlord's notice proposing a new rent under an Assured Periodic Tenancy of premises situated in England'. -

Precedent deed of assignment of debt
An outline form for an assignment of debt in party wall disputes.
Where the paying owner fails to meet its obligation, this leaves the surveyor in the uncomfortable position of having to bring proceedings against the appointing owner to recover his or her fees.
There is, however, a simple solution. Section 17 of the Party Wall etc. Act provides that sums due under an award are a debt. Debts are a kind of legal property called a 'chose in action', which may be transferred, or 'assigned', by the creditor to another person under section 136 of the Law of Property Act 1925.
So, all a surveyor needs to do to recover a sum of money payable under an award is to take an assignment of it from the appointing owner. -

Where such an assignment takes place, the person to whom the debt is assigned automatically acquires the legal remedies that were available to the original creditor, which include the right to bring proceedings in the Magistrates' Court. -

This template is adapted from the practice statement and guidance note, Surveyors acting as expert witnesses. Its sample terms are not intended to be mandatory or prescriptive, and may be adapted as required. It is recognised that a variety of circumstances will prevail in the range of assignments surveyors may undertake and that clauses may not be appropriate in every circumstance. For example, where a client appoints a surveyor directly, without using an appointer, the terms would need to be amended accordingly. Other or additional terms of engagement may also be indicated, for example, by a protocol established under the CPR or in guides that supplement the CPR in certain courts.

Mediation agreement template
This is a template agreement between two parties to enter into mediation. Mediation is an alternative method of dispute resolution. Mediation can be used as an additional tool to those currently available in a whole variety of surveying contexts; for example disputes about construction, landlord and tenant, rights of light, boundaries, valuation, compulsory purchase orders and in the planning system.
The template is available from the RICS Dispute Resolution Service. -
Settlement agreement template
Where parties to a negotiation or ADR procedure come to a settlement, they should record its terms in a settlement agreement. This agreement is formal evidence that the parties have concluded terms of settlement. It avoids potential disputes as to the contents of any 'without prejudice' discussions and the terms of any agreement reached.
Mediators are not encouraged to participate in drafting the settlement agreement. This is even more true of the RICS Accredited Mediator who may not have a legal background, even though he or she may be experienced in the type of dispute being mediated.
Where parties have legal representation their lawyer should draft the agreement. If that is not the case they should aim to settle the agreement themselves, at least as heads of agreement, and have a lawyer provide additional details as necessary.
The template is available from the RICS Dispute Resolution Service. -
Deed of guarantee
Use one of the templates to create a deed of guarantee where a guarantor is required for an assured shorthold tenancy (AST). A copy of the unsigned tenancy agreement should be attached. If the guarantor does not receive a copy of the tenancy agreement that they are guaranteeing, the guarantee may not be enforceable. It may be prudent to ask the guarantor to initial each page of the tenancy agreement.
The deed of guarantee for full liability allows the landlord to pursue each person forming the guarantee for all the costs and liabilities outstanding.
The deed of guarantee for limited liability allows the landlord to pursue each person forming the guarantor for a percentage of the costs and liabilities outstanding.

Deed of assignment
Use this document where tenants on an assured shorthold tenancy are changing and the landlord wants the tenancy to continue on its existing terms rather than grant a new tenancy.
Of particular importance are the clauses relating to the deposit because outgoing tenants are likely to want a return of the proportion of the deposit they paid. The landlord will therefore want incoming tenants to make up the balance and will also want to ensure that any losses recoverable from the deposit can be taken whether before or after the change of tenants.
The Prescribed Information form relating to tenancy deposits should be re-served on the tenants and any Relevant Person (anyone who has paid the deposit of tenants) within 30 days of the assignment.

ARCHIVED: Farm Business Tenancy Agreements 2020
Since the introduction of the original Farm Business Tenancy Agreement (FBTA) suite, there have been a number of updates with the most recent in 2012, 2014, 2016 and February 2020.
The 2014 and 2016 updates were primarily to take account of the introduction of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) in place of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS), the associated changes to related environmental schemes and the abolition of milk quotas, as well as other changes such as the availability of the new model clauses as an alternative set of provisions concerning repairs and insurance.
The February 2020 updates were to take account of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. A further review of the agreements will be undertaken once the terms of the Agriculture Bill 2020 have been settled and enacted.

Fraud response plan
RICS-regulated firms, like all organisations, should have a fraud response plan. Fraud can have
a significant impact on businesses and responding appropriately to any fraud may help
mitigate that impact.
The fraud response plan is not intended to set out how your firm will prevent fraud. Instead, it
provides guidance of the steps you will follow as an organisation once potential fraud has been
identified. You should ensure that your staff are aware of the fraud response plan. -
