Dilapidations Assessment

Dilapidations & Schedule of Condition

My Commercial Building Surveyors provide expert dilapidations assessments and schedules of condition for commercial lease agreements. Whether you're a landlord protecting your property investment or a tenant ensuring fair treatment, our RICS chartered surveyors help you understand your lease obligations regarding the state of repair.

Schedule of Condition

A schedule of condition is prepared at the start of a commercial lease to document the existing condition of a property.

Our building surveyor creates detailed photographic records and written descriptions that serve as legal documentation.

Schedule of Condition Services Include:

  • Comprehensive room-by-room inspection and documentation
  • Detailed photographs of all areas and existing defects
  • Written descriptions of the state of repair
  • Assessment of building services and fixtures
  • Documentation suitable for annexing to lease agreements
  • Protection for tenants against unfair dilapidation claims

Dilapidations Assessment

Dilapidations surveys are conducted at the end of a commercial lease to assess the tenant's obligations for reinstatement and repairs. We act for both landlords seeking to recover costs and tenants defending against excessive claims.

Dilapidations Services Include:

  • Terminal schedule of dilapidations preparation
  • Interim dilapidations assessments during the lease
  • Scott Schedule preparation for dispute resolution
  • Cost assessment of required repairs and reinstatement
  • Negotiation support between landlord and tenant
  • Expert witness services if disputes escalate
  • Diminution valuations and cost analysis

Our experienced team helps property owners and occupiers navigate the complex area of dilapidations, ensuring fair outcomes and avoiding costly disputes.
