Dilapidations service

Over 30 years of expertise in dilapidation claims

We offer the preparation of both Interim and Terminal Schedules of Dilapidations, each tailored to the specific needs of the landlord or tenant. These schedules are essential for ensuring that the obligations under the lease are met and that any areas of disrepair are addressed appropriately.

  • Interim schedule of dilapidations: This schedule is prepared during the lease term and highlights areas of disrepair that the tenant must rectify to meet the obligations outlined in the lease. It serves as an important reminder of the tenant’s responsibilities and helps avoid disputes at lease end.
  • Terminal schedule of dilapidations: This schedule is typically prepared shortly before or after the expiry of the lease term. It identifies any outstanding repairs or maintenance issues that must be addressed, based on the tenant’s obligations under the lease. Alongside this schedule, we provide a detailed breakdown of the costs, forming what is known as a “Schedule of Quantified Demand” – a clear and transparent statement of the landlord’s dilapidation claims.

Pre-Termination survey for tenants

To help tenants better manage their liabilities, we also offer a Pre-Termination Survey. Conducted before the lease ends, this survey gives tenants an early indication of any repairs or maintenance obligations they may need to address. By identifying potential issues early, tenants can plan for repairs, set aside financial provisions, and avoid unexpected costs when the lease expires.
