Dilapidation reports

A tenancy agreement often includes an obligation on a tenant to keep a premises in a defined standard of repair. Landlords can serve a Schedule of Dilapidations on a tenant, usually at the end of their tenancy, and this identifies any areas where the Tenant is deemed to have failed to meet the repairs obligation. The Schedule itemises the areas where a tenant is required to reinstate the premises within a specific period or agree to a payment in lieu. The Law of Dilapidations in complicated and it is important that both parties are correctly advised.

Friend and Falcke is able to assist in the preparation of Schedules and the subsequent negotiations required to bring about a settlement.

Condition assessments pre-letting

Property Condition assessments of any outstanding dilapidations can be carried out before a tenant takes on an existing or new lease. These reports enable a tenant to budget for the cost of works required to put the property into repair to meet the obligations under the lease and ensure that the required premium or rent adequately reflects this liability.

Friend and Falcke has both Building Surveyors and Valuers to give this advice.
