Dilapidations & Building Surveying

Lease expiries or early exits through a break clause trigger the need to consider if the premises has been left in a good state of repair, or whether the issue of Dilapidations needs to be raised.

Unexpected and high costs can suddenly be claimed leading to Occupiers' budgets being put under severe strain.

Both Landlords and Tenants should approach Dilapidations in a proper and organised manner. Comparative schedules, known as Scott Schedules, should be used and the protocol guidelines followed.

We have successfully dealt with small to large scale claims, and, where necessary, have added specialist advice to our team, such as Quantity Surveying and Project Management expertise. We source and manage all external advice on the Client’s behalf, with their prior approval – part of our promise to our Clients.

Dilapidation Settlements can vary from 0% to 100% (literally) of a claim. We advise you to contact us when as issue arises and we would be delighted to assist you through the whole process.
