Advice for landlords and tenants
It is advantageous for both landlords and tenants to commence the dilapidations process well before the lease expiry, as early action helps avoid disputes and costly legal proceedings.
Serving a schedule of dilapidations prior to the tenant vacating the property also enables them to address repairs themselves, potentially reducing costs for both parties.
Dilapidations Advice for Tower Hamlets landlords
It is essential for tenants to uphold the condition of a property as stipulated in their lease agreement. If they do not the landlord can claim for damages.
When a lease ends, landlords generally want to re-let the premises promptly so do not appreciate delays caused by needing to carry out repairs or reinstatements. Our surveyors can support landlords in Tower Hamlets by:
- Reviewing lease terms to clarify tenant responsibilities regarding the property’s condition
- Undertaking a thorough inspection of the premises to identify any issues or breaches
- Preparing a detailed schedule of dilapidations along with associated repair costs
- Serving the schedule of dilapidations to the tenant
If the tenant challenges any aspects of the schedule we will manage negotiations with their surveyor in order to ensure a fair settlement.

Dilapidations guidance for Tenants
Commercial tenants may find themselves facing unexpected claims for repairs or reinstatements at the end of their lease. Sometimes these can seem excessive or unwarranted.
Our surveyors can provide essential support to tenants in this situation, guiding them through the process of contesting unfair claims.
To help ensure a tenant achieves a fair outcome we will:
- Review the lease terms and claims outlined in the dilapidations schedule
- Inspect the premises to verify whether the landlord’s claims are justified
- Dispute any inflated or unnecessary claims and charges
- Advise on cost-saving measures such as the option for tenants to undertake repairs themselves
- Negotiate directly with the landlord’s surveyor to reach a fair agreement
Importance of a Schedule of Condition
Both landlords and tenants can choose to protect themselves with a Schedule of Condition – a report which documents the property’s state at the start of the lease.
A Schedule of Condition provides a valuable record of the property’s state at the outset of the lease.
This detailed record, often accompanied by images, provides a clear basis for comparison at the lease’s end,
This can be beneficial to both landlords and tenants, helping uphold genuine grievances, prevent unfair claims and ultimately support a fair resolution. Please contact our London office for help with dilapidations for commercial properties in Tower Hamlets.
