Dilapidations Advice
It is beneficial, for both landlords and tenants, that the dilapidations process be initiated well before the end of the lease period, as this helps 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 Worcester
For commercial landlords it is essential that, when a tenant vacates a property, is returned in the condition outlined in the lease agreement.
Unexpected repair costs and delays in re-letting can lead to significant financial losses. Taking proactive measures is crucial to avoid these issues.
Our experienced surveyors assist commercial landlords by:
- Reviewing the terms of the lease to ascertain the tenant’s obligations regarding property upkeep
- Conducting thorough inspections to identify any breaches or damages
- Preparing a detailed schedule of dilapidations, complete with associated repair costs
- Serving the schedule of dilapidations to the tenant
Should the tenant contest any claims, we will represent your interests and work collaboratively with their surveyor to reach a fair resolution.
Dilapidations advice for tenants in Worcester
Receiving a schedule of dilapidations can be unexpected and stressful for tenants. The schedule outlines the landlord’s claims for repairs or damages at the conclusion of the lease, and some claims may be considered unjust or exaggerated.
Our team supports commercial tenants in Worcester by:
- Conducting a comprehensive review of the lease and the schedule of dilapidations
- Inspecting the premises to contest any inflated or unwarranted claims
- Providing options for addressing claims, such as undertaking repairs to mitigate costs
- Negotiating with the landlord’s surveyor to find a mutually agreeable solution
Schedule of condition
A Schedule of Condition details the state of the property at the start of the lease, creating a reference point for comparison at the lease’s conclusion.
A Schedule of Condition is a critical tool for both landlords and tenants.
For landlords, it strengthens any dilapidations claims by providing evidence of the property’s initial condition.
For tenants, it acts as a safeguard against unreasonable claims by documenting existing issues.
