Schedule of Dilapidation
At lease break or expiry, a Schedule of Dilapidation sets out what the lease requires the tenant to put right. We act for landlords preparing a claim and for tenants responding to one.

How it works
From booking to report in 3 days
A simple process, with someone qualified on the other end of the phone at every stage.
1. Book or request a quote
Tell us about the property and when suits. Send a booking request, or ask for a quote and we come back with a price.
2. We arrange access
We deal with the estate agent, builder or solicitor directly so you do not have to chase anyone.
3. Survey day
A qualified engineer, surveyor or architect inspects the property in detail and photographs everything relevant.
4. Report within 3 days
Your written report arrives within three working days, followed by a call to talk through the findings.

Questions
Schedule of Dilapidation questions
How early should a tenant get advice?
Twelve to eighteen months before lease end where possible. Early advice usually reduces the final settlement considerably.
Do you act for both landlords and tenants?
We act for either side, but only one side on any given property, so there is no conflict of interest.
Are the figures negotiable?
Dilapidations claims are routinely negotiated. A properly evidenced schedule is what gives either side leverage.
What if there is no Schedule of Condition?
It makes the assessment harder but far from impossible. We work from the lease, the evidence on site and the age and nature of the building.
