Dilapidation Surveys and Schedule

of Dilapidations in London.

We conduct Schedules of Dilapidation or Dilapidation Surveys as part of our Commercial Property Surveying Services throughout the city of London.

In London, our experienced commercial building surveyors conduct a range of professional surveying services including Schedules of Dilapidation. A Dilapidation Survey is a thorough description of commercial property‘s defects, present during or at the expiry of a commercial lease term, which are in breach of the repairing covenants of a commercial property lease.

The Schedule of Dilapidations therefore allows a landlord to enforce the repairing clauses of a commercial property lease. The building survey identifies items of disrepair where the tenant has failed to comply with the repairing clauses outlined in their contract and specifies the work necessary to bring the leased commercial property back into the correct condition. If you have a property in London that requires a Schedule of Dilapidations, get in touch with our friendly team today.

London Dilapidation Services

We prepare and respond to schedules of dilapidations for landlords and tenants on commercial leases across Greater London. That covers interim schedules served during the lease, terminal schedules towards or after lease end, and the quantified demand that usually follows. Whether you’re planning ahead or have just been served, the earlier we’re involved the better: ideally 12–18 months before the lease ends, or as soon as a schedule lands on your desk.

For landlords, we start with the lease, any licences for alterations and the schedule of condition if there is one. We then inspect the premises and record each breach of the repairing, decorating and reinstatement covenants. The schedule sets out the work needed to bring the property back in line with the lease, and we cost it into a quantified demand you can serve with confidence. The Dilapidations Protocol sets the pace: a terminal schedule is normally served within 56 days of the lease ending, and the tenant should usually respond within 56 days of receiving the quantified demand. A clear schedule based on the lease keeps the claim moving. Before you instruct, see what a dilapidation survey costs.

Received a schedule? Don’t agree the figures or start work before taking advice. For tenants, we check each item against what the lease actually requires. We separate genuine disrepair from upgrades (betterment) and items outside your obligations, and we challenge inflated costs. We set out your position item by item in a Scott schedule, which puts both sides’ views side by side and makes negotiation much easier. A landlord’s damages claim is also usually capped by Section 18 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 at the amount the disrepair reduces the value of their interest, which is often less than the repair bill.
