We provide a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) to determine the condition
of a building and identify repairs.
Repairs are separated into 3 categories:
a) Routine maintenance repairs
b) Immediate need or Life Safety Hazards and
c) Capital Expenditure Plan itemizing significant
The Capital Expenditure Plan includes an itemize budget for repairs required at a future time during the course of the loan (typically 10-12years)
Magnolia Property Consultants, LLC provides due diligence services for lenders, commercial property owners, purchasers and real estate investors for a wide variety of commercial properties. Our team has the experience and flexibility to adapt to your specific needs.
The PCA report is intuitive and contains digital photographs that document the condition of the property. The PCA report format is electronic and can be transmitted quickly and easily to the lender or buyer.
Our company follows the nationally accepted ASTM 2018-15Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments in performing building inspections.
Our 25 years experience in commercial real estate enables us to understand the concerns and needs of our clients. We understand that every property is unique, and we adapt our property condition assessments to meet the specific needs and requirements of each client. This allows us to provide valuable and accurate information about the condition of the property, helping buyers, sellers, and investors make informed decisions.
The Field Observer preparing the report will note any material physical deficiencies or deferred maintenance for the following:
The report can also identify deferred maintenance and categorize these issues, based on severity into either “Immediate Needs” or “Short Term Costs”. A Replacement Reserve Table is also included in the scope of a PCA. The Replacement Reserve will typically estimate the building’s capital replacement schedule over the designated evaluation period.
