Schedule of Dilapidations

A Schedule of Dilapidations is normally prepared on behalf of a landlord, towards the end of a lease. It highlights the wants of repair that a tenant is required to carry out under the terms of the lease, prior to the expiry of the lease.

However, one can also be prepared on an interim basis during the term of the lease.

Using their expertise and comprehensive knowledge our surveyors will:

For a Landlord

  • Analyse the terms of the lease to highlight the tenant’s obligations
  • Carefully identify the correlation between tenant’s liabilities and any associated defects
  • Prepare a Schedule and describe the defect and wants of repair
  • Provide a detailed description of the remedy required
  • Cost the remedy, where required
  • Arrange for the service of the Schedule upon the tenant
  • Negotiate settlement on behalf of the landlord, by way of the tenant undertaking the necessary works, or, a monetary agreement

 

For a Tenant, in receipt of a Schedule of Dilapidations, our Surveyors will:

  • Analyse the terms of the lease to assess the tenant’s obligations
  • Carefully identify the correlation between tenant’s liabilities and any associated defects
  • Assess the description of the defects and wants of repair
  • Determine the merits of the detailed description of the remedy required and agree the most cost effective solution
  • Cost the remedy, where required
  • Negotiate settlement on behalf of the tenant undertaking the necessary works, or, a monetary agreement
