Dilapidations Surveyors – Coventry
At Easton Bevins, we provide expert dilapidations advice and services to clients in and around Coventry, supporting both landlords and tenants.
Dilapidations refer to the costs a landlord may claim if a tenant fails to maintain a property as outlined in the lease agreement.
Typically, a landlord serves a schedule of dilapidations towards the end of the lease, detailing any repairs or works required, along with associated costs.
If a dispute arises, the tenant may appoint a surveyor to contest the claims.
Whether you’re a landlord, with a commercial property in Coventry, seeking compensation for damages, or a tenant dealing with an unexpected dilapidations notice, our surveyors are here to assist.
For professional dilapidations advice on commercial property in Coventry, call 0121 817 7670, email, or complete our enquiry form and we’ll get back to you.

Dilapidations Advice
It is beneficial to 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.
Dilapidations – advice for landlords in Coventry
Landlords rely on tenants to meet their lease obligations, including ensuring the property remains in good condition. When a tenancy ends, landlords typically expect a quick turnaround to re-let the property, but this process can be delayed if repairs or reinstatements are needed.
Our dilapidations surveyors can assist landlords in Coventry by:
- Reviewing the lease to understand the tenant’s obligations for property maintenance
- Inspecting the property to identify any breaches or issues caused by the tenant
- Preparing a detailed schedule of dilapidations with cost estimates for necessary repairs
- Serving the dilapidations schedule to the tenant
If the tenant disputes any claims, we can represent the landlord and negotiate with the tenant’s surveyor to reach a fair settlement
Dilapidations – advice for tenants in Coventry
Tenants renting a commercial property in Coventry, may be served with a dilapidations schedule at the end of their lease, detailing claims for repairs or reinstatements. These claims can sometimes come as a surprise, especially if tenants are unaware of the obligations outlined in their lease.
Our surveyors can assist tenants in Coventry by:
- Reviewing the lease and the landlord’s dilapidations claims
- Inspecting the property to assess whether the claims are valid
- Contesting any unreasonable or excessive demands
- Advising on cost-effective solutions, such as carrying out repairs to reduce costs
- Negotiating with the landlord’s surveyor to reach an agreement that is beneficial for both sides
Schedule of condition – Coventry
A Schedule of Condition is a valuable tool, for both landlords and tenants, documenting the state of the property at the beginning of the lease, often with images as proof.
This report helps provide a clear reference point at the end of the tenancy, which can help prevent, or resolve, disputes over dilapidations.
By having a Schedule of Condition in place, landlords can protect themselves against unfounded claims, while tenants can defend themselves against unfair dilapidations demands.
