What power, access, fire and environmental checks are needed before renting a factory?
Match the actual operation to approved electrical capacity, loading and vehicle access, and the building's permitted use. Three-phase supply alone does not prove adequate capacity. Manufacturing licensing, DOE requirements and BOMBA fire certification are separate checks that depend on activity, scale and premises classification; not every factory tenant needs identical approvals.
What to do next
Prepare the process flow, machinery and load list, storage materials, emissions and transport needs.
Have qualified professionals and the relevant authorities check power, floor loading, access and applicable licences or approvals.
Get written upgrade costs, approval responsibilities and timing before committing to the tenancy or production date.
An existing approval may not cover a new process, chemicals, high racking or machinery. Exemption from one licence does not remove other council, fire or environmental obligations.
Does the house have roof leaks, damp or water damage?
Photos or fresh paint cannot establish that a home is leak-free. Ask for disclosure and repair records, then arrange an inspection of accessible areas. Any agreed repair, inspection condition or seller undertaking should be documented with your solicitor rather than left as a verbal promise.
What to do next
Request the history of roof, ceiling, bathroom and plumbing leaks, with repair invoices where available.
With permission, use a qualified inspector for moisture and appropriate testing; do not climb an unsafe roof.
Obtain a written findings and repair estimate, then ask your solicitor to record the agreed remedy or condition.
Access and inspection scope may leave concealed defects untested. A viewing is not a structural or waterproofing certificate; contract obligations require legal review.
