Whether you are acquiring, disposing of, developing, leasing, or funding a single asset or an entire property portfolio, our detailed building surveys empower you to make informed decisions, save money, and minimise potential risks. We strive to exceed your expectations by delivering clear, concise, and actionable insights.

Dilapidations Consultancy

Dilapidations arise from breaches of lease covenants, often related to the condition of a property during a tenancy or at lease expiry. Our profound experience in dilapidations enables us to act on behalf of Landlords, Tenants, Sub-Tenants, Assignees, and Assignors, providing expert advice on liabilities and associated costs.

We are renowned for our strategic approach, helping clients maximise their commercial advantage in complex dilapidation scenarios. Our expertise extends to providing expert opinions for litigation purposes, ensuring our clients are well-represented and fully informed throughout the process. We have a proven track record of achieving significant savings for tenants facing dilapidation claims, consistently exceeding average savings of 50% on initial claims.

Schedule of Condition

A comprehensive schedule of condition offers a detailed and accurate record of a property's condition, establishing a benchmark as of the assessment date. This fundamental document plays a crucial role in lease agreements with repairing liabilities, protecting both Landlords and Tenants from future disputes.

By meticulously documenting the property's condition, we help minimise the risk of disagreements and costly claims down the line. Whether you are acquiring a leasehold interest, seeking to mitigate potential repair liabilities, or entering into a new lease agreement, a well-prepared schedule of condition provides invaluable peace of mind and a robust safeguard for both parties involved.
