Dilapidations
Expert advice and representation for landlords and tenants, using detailed understanding of legislation, procedures and costs to secure the most favourable outcomes.
Whether acting on behalf of a landlord seeking compensation or a tenant responding to a claim, our seasoned building surveyors apply skilled negotiation and practical insight to navigate even the most complex matters.
Effective representation for landlords and tenants
Dilapidations can have significant financial implications, and our goal is always to minimise exposure while achieving fair and reasonable settlements.
- For Landlords — We help you preserve the value of your asset and ensure you are appropriately compensated when a tenant has failed to meet their lease obligations. We also prepare and serve Interim Schedules of Dilapidations, which have become increasingly important in the face of economic uncertainty. These enable you to take early action and protect your position throughout the lease term.
- For Tenants — We advise on the validity, scope, and cost (quantum) of the landlord’s claim, providing robust analysis and guidance on statutory protections. Our aim is to reduce liability and ensure you only pay what is genuinely owed.
In both cases, we bring clarity to the process and act as your advocate in negotiations, helping to avoid unnecessary disputes and achieve swift resolution.
Our dilapidations services include:
- Interim and Terminal Schedules of Dilapidations
- Assessment of Lease Obligations
