Property condition report templates, worked examples, and the reasoning behind each section.
8 templates for property condition assessors, engineers and commercial due-diligence teams — each with a section-by-section guide, a free Word download, and a complete filled-in example written against a realistic fictional property.
Why these are different from the templates you have already found
Most free property condition templates are a list of headings, or a checklist app's export. Headings are the easy part.
Filled-in worked examples
8 of these templates include a complete example written against a fictional property — including the hard parts, like a quantity carried on an assumption and a roof that could not be accessed.
The whole document set
An assessment is not one document. The report, the two cost schedules, the field notes and the limitations statement all have to agree with each other — so they are all here, written to agree.
The reasoning, not just the form
Every section says what it is for and how it typically goes wrong. The mistakes lists are drawn from the defects that surface when reports are reviewed by a lender, a servicer, or the next assessor six years later.

Immediate repairs schedule
The table that gets escrowed. Shows the basis for every figure, including one line priced on an assumed quantity.
Highest stakes
Limitations and field conditions
The most-copied and least-written section in the discipline — snow, roof access and unavailable units, recorded properly.

Professional Drafter
This library is published by the team building Professional Drafter — a drafting tool that turns reviewed source material into a structured report draft while the professional keeps control of every assumption and conclusion.
Every template here can be opened directly in the app.
These templates are general documentation aids — not engineering advice, not legal advice, and not a substitute for the standard or client scope your engagement runs under. Inspection requirements vary by state and by locality. Worked examples describe fictional properties, and their figures are illustrative only.
