We provide professional advice to landlords and tenants throughout the lease term to minimise financial risk associated with repair obligations.

A dilapidations report outlines necessary remedial works to ensure lease compliance. It is prepared during (interim) or at the end (terminal) of a lease. We regularly act for landlords in preparing and serving detailed schedules of dilapidations. We also represent tenants to review, negotiate, and reach appropriate financial settlements with the landlord’s surveyor. Our surveyors have extensive experience and a thorough understanding of lease covenants and relevant case law. We ensure all parties are advised objectively, efficiently, and in accordance with current best practice.

A Schedule of Condition records the condition of a property at the start of a lease. When agreed by both parties, it can limit a tenant’s liability by referencing the building’s original state. We produce detailed condition schedules supported by high-resolution photographs, annotations, and relevant plans where appropriate. This documentation provides a clear benchmark for future assessments and lease negotiations.
