Dilapidations & building surveying

Dilapidations

Providing clarity on complex matters

 

Dilapidations refer to the deterioration of commercial buildings beyond lease covenant requirements. We are experienced in representing landlords, tenants and sub-tenants in claims for damages at the termination of a tenancy. Our services include strategy, professional advice, claims preparation and assessment, settlement negotiation, and arrangement of remedial or reinstatement works.

Broad and balanced advice

Careful evaluation of lease circumstances

Every lease is unique and outlines the conditions in which premises should be returned at lease break or end, which falls to the tenant. Where needed, we coordinate and work with multi-disciplinary professional input, including legal, MEP, specialist testing, or other investigations to ensure compliance.

Renowned negotiating expertise

Detailed knowledge of claims precedent

We negotiate favourable settlements for landlords and manage remedial works. For tenants, we often achieve significant savings on landlord claims, negotiate complex lease breaks, and provide dilapidations advice for planning lease end.
