We provide clear, independent and evidence-based advice to help clients understand their potential liabilities, manage costs and reduce the risk of disputes. From pre-lease condition assessments through to interim and terminal dilapidation matters.
Our clients include landlords, tenants, property owners, investors and occupiers.
For tenants: we identify existing defects and establish a baseline against which future obligations can be assessed.
For landlords, we provides useful documentation of the property’s condition at the beginning of a tenancy.
For tenants: We identify necessary works, budget for potential costs and possible options that can be discussed with the landlord.
For landlords: We identify breaches and address issues before lease expiry.
For landlords: We provide a detailed assessment of the property’s condition against the tenant’s contractual obligations. We identify relevant areas of repair, maintenance, decoration and reinstatement and provide professional technical evidence to support the preparation and negotiation of a schedule of dilapidations.
For landlords and tenants: We assess any alterations, install fixtures, fittings and commercial fit-outs and consider whether reinstatement may be required under the relevant lease obligations. Our assessment can help establish the likely scope of reinstatement works and provide useful information for landlords, tenants and their legal advisers.
For landlords and tenants: Where appropriate, we can provide technical advice regarding the likely scope and cost implications of identified remedial and reinstatement works. This can help clients budget appropriately and enter negotiations with a clearer understanding of the issues involved.
Our RICS regulated status provides clients with confidence that they are appointing a professional surveying practice operating within recognised professional standards.
We have experience assessing residential, commercial and mixed-use properties and understand the practical implications of repair, maintenance, alterations and reinstatement.
Our assessments are based on detailed inspections, documentary evidence, photographs and professional technical judgement, providing a clear and objective record of the property’s condition.
From individual residential properties to offices, retail premises, industrial buildings and larger mixed-use developments, we tailor our approach to the property and the client’s requirements.
We regularly work alongside solicitors, landlords, tenants, property managers, architects and other professional advisers, providing the technical evidence required to support property matters.
Dilapidations can involve complicated technical and contractual issues. We explain our findings clearly and focus on practical recommendations that help clients understand their position and make informed decisions.
