Dilapidations Advice
It is in the best interest of both landlords and tenants to initiate the dilapidations process well before the lease term ends as this can help prevent unnecessary complications and costly legal disputes.
By serving a schedule of dilapidations prior to the tenant vacating the premises, the tenant may choose to carry out the necessary repairs themselves, potentially leading to savings for both parties.
Dilapidations Advice for Swindon Landlords
For commercial landlords, it is crucial that tenants maintain the property in accordance with the terms outlined in their lease. When the lease term concludes, landlords typically aim to re-let the property without delays caused by necessary repairs or refurbishments.
Our surveyors support commercial landlords in Swindon by:
- Reviewing the lease agreement to evaluate the tenant’s obligations regarding the property’s condition
- Carrying out a thorough inspection of the property to identify any breaches of the lease
- Preparing a detailed schedule of dilapidations, including an accurate assessment of repair costs
- Serving the dilapidations schedule to the tenant
If the tenant challenges any of the points in the schedule, we will manage negotiations with their surveyor to reach a fair and mutually agreeable resolution.
