Dilapidations Surveyors in Manchester
Dilapidations refers to claims made by a landlord when a tenant fails to maintain, or restore, a property as required by the lease agreement.
Easton Bevins offers expert dilapidations services across Manchester, providing support for landlords and tenants alike.
A landlord typically serves a schedule of dilapidations towards the end of a tenancy, detailing any necessary repairs or reinstatement works. Disputes can sometimes arise, and tenants may appoint a surveyor to challenge these claims.

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.
Dilapidations services for Manchester landlords
Landlords leasing commercial property in Manchester would expect tenants to uphold their obligations under the lease, ensuring that the property is maintained in good condition.
At the end of a tenancy, the landlord usually aims to re-let the premises quickly, but this can be delayed if repairs or reinstatements are needed.
Our Manchester-based dilapidations surveyors can help landlords by:
- Conducting a thorough review of the lease to assess the tenant’s responsibilities.
- Carrying out detailed inspections of the property to identify any breaches.
- Preparing a comprehensive schedule of dilapidations, including estimated repair costs.
- Serving the schedule of dilapidations to the tenant.
If the tenant disputes any items on the schedule, we will negotiate on your behalf to reach an agreement that is satisfactory to both parties.
Dilapidations services for Manchester tenants
Tenants leasing a commercial property in Manchester may receive a dilapidations schedule when their lease ends, detailing claims for repairs or reinstatements. This can sometimes come as a surprise, especially if the tenant wasn’t expecting these obligations.
Our Manchester-based surveyors can assist tenants by:
- Reviewing the lease terms and the landlord’s dilapidations claims.
- Inspecting the property to verify whether the claims are valid and fair.
- Contesting any unreasonable demands for repairs or costs.
- Advising on cost-effective solutions, such as carrying out repairs yourself to save on expenses.
- Negotiating with the landlord’s surveyor to secure an acceptable resolution.
Schedule of Condition in Manchester
To protect both landlords and tenants, a Schedule of Condition is often prepared at the start of the lease, documenting the condition of the property.
The Schedule of Condition serves as an essential record for a ‘before and after’ comparison at the end of the tenancy, helping to resolve, or even prevent dilapidations disputes.
