FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are dilapidations in commercial property?
Dilapidations refer to breaches of a tenant’s lease obligations relating to the condition of a property. This usually involves returning the premises to its original state before lease expiry, including removal of alterations, reinstatement works, and repairs.
Do you work for landlords, tenants, or both?
We work with both landlords and tenants, as well as managing agents and surveyors. Whether you’re enforcing a schedule of dilapidations or fulfilling your lease-end obligations, we provide practical, cost-effective support from start to finish.
What kind of works are typically involved?
Dilapidations works may include full strip-outs, reinstatement of partitions and ceilings, flooring and decoration repairs, M&E disconnections or replacements, and removal of tenant alterations. We tailor the scope to the specific requirements of each lease and schedule.
Can you carry out works under tight deadlines?
Yes, dilapidations projects often come with tight timeframes ahead of lease handover or new tenant fit-outs. We’re experienced in planning and delivering works efficiently, even in live or multi-tenanted buildings.
Do you provide surveys or just carry out the works?
While we don’t issue schedules of dilapidations ourselves, we work closely with surveyors and project managers. Once a schedule is issued, we price, plan, and deliver all required works to meet compliance and handover standards.
Can you work on multi-site or portfolio-wide dilapidations?
Absolutely. We support clients with single-property lease exits as well as portfolio-wide dilapidations across London and the UK, offering consistency, speed, and trusted quality across every location.
