Typically, a schedule of dilapidations is served towards the end of the lease, outlining necessary repairs. If disputes arise, a surveyor can represent either the landlord or the tenant to negotiate a fair resolution.
Whether you’re a landlord looking to recover repair costs or a tenant contesting a dilapidations schedule, our experienced team is here to support you.

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 – advice for landlords in Solihull
For landlords leasing commercial property in Solihull, ensuring the property is returned in a good state of repair is crucial. When a tenant vacates a building, the property should be restored to the condition outlined in the lease. Failure to do so can lead to financial losses, particularly if repairs delay new tenants from moving in.
Our expert surveyors can assist commercial landlords in Solihull by:
- Reviewing the lease to establish the tenant’s obligations regarding repairs
- Conducting a comprehensive inspection of the property to identify any breaches
- Preparing a detailed schedule of dilapidations, including repair costs
- Serving the schedule to the tenant
If the tenant disputes the schedule, we can also negotiate on behalf of the landlord to reach an agreement.
Dilapidations – advice for tenants in Solihull
If you’re a tenant, leasing a commercial property in Solihull, you may be served with a schedule of dilapidations at the end of your lease. This document details the landlord’s claims for damages or necessary repairs. In some cases, the claims may seem excessive or unjustified.
Our surveyors can assist tenants in Solihull by:
- Reviewing the lease terms and dilapidations schedule
- Inspecting the property to assess the landlord’s claims
- Challenging any unfair or inflated claims
- Providing cost-effective options, such as carrying out repairs to minimise liability
- Negotiating with the landlord’s surveyor to reach a fair settlement
Schedule of Condition
A Schedule of Condition is an important document for both landlords and tenants. This report, created at the start of the lease, documents the condition of the property, providing a clear record for reference when the lease ends.
For landlords, it supports any dilapidations claims made against the tenant. For tenants, it protects them from unjustified or exaggerated claims by showing the property’s original state.
