Dilapidations Surveyors – Camden
Easton Bevins provides expert dilapidations services to help landlords and tenants in Camden manage their lease obligations.
Dilapidations refer to damages or repairs that a landlord requests a tenant make, or pay for, before moving out at the end of their lease.
Typically, a schedule of dilapidations is served by the landlord towards the end of the lease term. In cases of dispute, a qualified surveyor can be appointed to negotiate and advocate for either party’s interests.
Whether you’re a commercial landlord seeking to recover costs, or a tenant confronted with a dilapidations claim, our experienced team can help.

Dilapidations Advice
It is beneficial, for both landlords and tenants, that the dilapidations process be initiated well before the end of the lease period, helping avoid unwanted complications, or even costly legal battles.
Serving a schedule of dilapidations before the tenant has vacated the building also allows the tenant to opt to carry out repairs themselves, which can deliver savings for both parties.
Support for landlords in Camden
Landlords want their tenants to maintain their properties as specified in the lease. They do not want to have to pay for repairs and redecoration when a tenant leaves. This is especially true of landlords with commercial property in Camden, who need the premises to be in good repair to avoid delays in re-letting, and ensure continuity of income.
Our experienced surveyors assist commercial landlords by:
- Reviewing the lease terms to determine the tenant’s obligations regarding property maintenance
- Conducting detailed inspections to identify any damages or breaches
- Preparing a comprehensive schedule of dilapidations with associated repair costs
- Serving the schedule of dilapidations to the tenant
If the tenant disputes any of the claims, we will negotiate with their surveyor to reach a mutually accepted resolution.
Support for tenants in Camden
Receiving a schedule of dilapidations can be an unwelcome surprise for tenants leasing a commercial property, particularly if the claims seem unjustified or excessive.
The schedule outlines the landlord’s requests for repairs or damages to be paid at the conclusion of the lease. If the tenant disagrees with the points raised they can appoint a surveyor to contest the claims.
Our surveyors can help tenants by:
- Conducting a thorough review of the lease and the claims detailed in the schedule of dilapidations
- Inspecting the premises to contest any inflated or unreasonable claims
- Offering solutions for addressing claims, such as executing repairs to reduce costs
- Negotiating with the landlord’s surveyor to find a mutually acceptable solution
Schedule of condition for property in Camden
A Schedule of Condition documents the property’s condition at the start of the lease. It is a valuable resource for both landlords and tenants, providing a reference for comparison at the lease’s conclusion.
For landlords, it reinforces any dilapidations claims by offering evidence of the initial condition of the property.
For tenants, it serves as a safeguard against unjust claims by recording pre-existing issues.
