COMMERCIAL SCHEDULE OF DILAPIDATION REPORT

Commercial Schedule of Dilapidations

A Schedule of Dilapidations is a document served by a landlord to a tenant, typically at the end of a lease. It outlines alleged breaches of the lease, most often concerning the property's condition and the required repairs. Our expert surveyors assist both landlords and tenants in navigating this complex process to achieve a fair and cost-effective resolution.

For Landlords: Preparing a Claim

As a landlord, it is crucial that your schedule of dilapidations is accurate, legally defensible, and fully supported by the terms of the lease. We prepare a detailed and robust schedule that clearly identifies all breaches and the costs to remedy them. This professional approach strengthens your position in negotiations and helps secure a timely settlement.

For Tenants: Responding to a Claim

If you have been served with a schedule of dilapidations, we can provide the professional advice you need to challenge and negotiate the claim. We will review your lease obligations, inspect the property, and prepare a detailed response to ensure you are not paying for repairs that are not your responsibility. If a Schedule of Condition was prepared at the beginning of the lease, it will serve as crucial evidence in your defense.
