Dilapidations Advice in Northampton
For both landlords and tenants, it is advantageous to begin the dilapidations process well before the lease term concludes. This proactive approach helps prevent complications and avoids the potential for costly legal disputes.
Serving a schedule of dilapidations before the tenant vacates the premises allows them the opportunity to complete the required repairs, which can result in savings for both parties.

Landlords who lease commercial property in Northampton expect tenants to fulfil their responsibilities under the lease, ensuring the property remains in good condition.
At the end of a tenancy, landlords often aim to re-let the property promptly. However, if repairs or reinstatement work is necessary, this can cause delays.
Our Birmingham-based team of dilapidations surveyors can assist landlords by:
- Reviewing the lease in detail to determine the tenant’s repair obligations.
- Conducting thorough inspections of the property to identify any breaches of the lease.
- Preparing a comprehensive schedule of dilapidations, including estimated costs for repairs.

Dilapidations services for Northampton tenants
Tenants leasing a commercial property in Northampton 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 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 Northampton
To safeguard the interests of both landlords and tenants, a Schedule of Condition is typically compiled at the commencement of the lease, detailing the property’s condition at that time.
This document serves as a vital reference for comparing the state of the property at the end of the tenancy. It helps to resolve, and in many cases, prevent disputes related to dilapidations.
Having a clear, accurate Schedule of Condition in place ensures that both parties are protected, reducing the risk of unnecessary claims and fostering a smoother handover of the property.
