Dilapidations Experts in Farringdon
At Easton Bevins, we provide specialised dilapidations services to landlords and tenants in Farringdon.
Dilapidations refer to claims that landlords may initiate when a tenant fails to return a property in the condition outlined in their lease agreement.
As a lease comes to an end, landlords often prepare and serve a schedule of dilapidations outlining what they see as necessary repairs or refurbishments. In cases of disagreement, engaging a skilled dilapidations surveyor can help facilitate negotiations.
Whether you’re a landlord seeking compensation, or a tenant confronting unexpected claims, 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. This can help 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.
Landlord support in Farringdon
For landlords, having your property returned in the appropriate condition is essential. Unforeseen repair expenses, and the risk of prolonged vacancy, can significantly, negatively, impact finances. Taking proactive steps can help prevent this.
Our dedicated surveyors assist landlords by:
- Conducting thorough evaluations of lease agreements to clarify the tenant’s obligations regarding property maintenance
- Performing detailed inspections to identify and document any damages or lease breaches
- Creating a comprehensive schedule of dilapidations, including associated costs for repairs
- Serving this schedule to the tenant and managing follow-up discussions
If a tenant disputes the claims, our team is ready to negotiate on your behalf to arrive at a mutually beneficial resolution.

Schedule of condition for property in Farringdon
A Schedule of Condition documents a property’s condition at the start of a lease. It serves as a reference when the tenancy concludes and is a valuable tool for both parties involved in a lease.
For landlords, it helps substantiate claims for damages by providing documented evidence of the property’s initial state.
For tenants, it acts as a safeguard against unreasonable claims, ensuring they are only held accountable for issues that have occurred during their tenancy.
