Here are some practical tips for landlords 💡 In our combined years of expertise dealing with dilapidations cases, we have learned many practical steps landlords can take: 💡If your tenant does not allow access in the run up to lease expiry, then carry out your dilapidations survey within days of lease expiry/break. 💡If there are COVID-19 restrictions or other access issues meaning that ordinary dilapidations surveys are not possible, inspections by specialist contractors engaged in safety (plumbing, gas, electrical etc.) and security (boarding up) work most likely still will be. Arrangements can be made for those contractors to take a comprehensive schedule of internal and external photographs whilst there. We can provide a check-list tailored to the property. These can then be compared to what our Dilapidations Surveyor finds at a later detailed survey, in turn protecting you if a tenant’s surveyor argues that defects have worsened, or arisen, following lease expiry. 💡Many leases have a Jervis -v-Harris clause allowing landlords to enter into a property during the term of the lease to remedy serious breaches of the tenant’s duties to repair. Using this clause is well worth considering when a lease expiry (or break date) is still some way off, but you are worried about your tenant’s solvency, or the risk of their company entering into a CVA to escape any liabilities. You can then carry out the (serious) works and recover the cost from the tenant as a debt due. 💡When letting a property, your tenant may ask for have a Schedule of Condition. This accurately records the condition of your property, ensuring that when the lease expires, it is clear what has deteriorated. Whilst helping the tenant, it also helps to enforce your landlord rights. Our chartered building surveyors will carry out a building survey and advise on the details of breaches and priced repairs and negotiate accordingly. This will make it clear what needs to be remedied by the outgoing tenant or if not done, what compensation you are owed. #Landlords #PracticalTips #DilapidationsClaims #CommercialLease

Terminal Dilapidations 🏢 Our network of chartered building surveyors can provide pre-dilapidations assessments, usually at least a year before the lease expires, to help the business budgeting ahead of the end of the lease. They will then negotiate to a minimum possible Cost of Works assessment so as to then enable our chartered valuation surveyors (valuers) to assess to what extent the statutory cap applies. #CommercialTenant #Lease #Dilapidations #TerminalDilapidations #LeaseExpiry

Of the many distinct disciplines of chartered surveyors, two are required for the purposes of the Diminution in Value dilapidations procedure. It is the chartered building surveyor who identifies required repairs and prices their remedy, and the chartered valuation surveyor who assesses to what extent (if any) these items impact the property’s freehold value. The chartered valuation surveyor is also known as a ‘general practice surveyor’ and a ‘valuer’.
