Dilapidations Surveyors – Holborn
At Easton Bevins, we provide expert dilapidations advice and services to commercial landlords and tenants in Holborn.
Dilapidations refer to claims made by landlords when a property is not returned in accordance with the lease terms.
As tenants approach the end of their lease, landlords often issue a schedule of dilapidations specifying necessary repairs or restorations. Should there be disagreement over the schedule, a surveyor may be appointed to contest the claims on behalf of the tenant.
Whether you are a landlord seeking to recover damages, or a tenant confronting unanticipated claims, we offer expert assistance to help you navigate the process effectively.

Important 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, and 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 Holborn
Commercial landlords expect their properties to be returned in satisfactory condition at the end of a lease so as to avoid unwanted repair costs and delays. Their aim is to move their new tenants in as quickly as possible to help ensure continuity of income.
Our experienced surveyors can help commercial landlords achieve this aim and our comprehensive support includes:
- Analysing lease terms to determine the expected state of the property
- Performing thorough inspections to identify any tenant-related issues
- Compiling a detailed schedule of dilapidations along with repair cost estimates
- Serving the schedule to the tenant and managing all follow-up communications
If the tenant contest the claims, we can negotiate with their surveyor to help reach a satisfactory resolution.

- Reviewing the lease and dilapidations claims for accuracy and fairness
- Inspecting the property to confirm the legitimacy of the claims listed in the schedule

- Negotiating with the landlord’s surveyor to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution
A Schedule of Condition for property in Holborn
A Schedule of Condition is an essential tool for both landlords and tenants. It provides a factual record of the property’s condition at the start of the lease and serves as a reference for comparison when the lease concludes.
For landlords, it supports claims for damages by demonstrating the property’s original state.
For tenants, it acts as a safeguard against unreasonable claims, ensuring they are not held accountable for pre-existing issues.
