What is a dilapidation survey?
When a tenant takes a building on a lease term, the lease term sometimes has breaks. In entering into a lease, a tenant will agree a schedule of condition at the outset and this fixes the condition of the property. This is part of the dilapidation survey procedure because the schedule of condition sets the condition of the property at the time from which you occupy. There are tenant obligations which are called covenants which require the tenant to either put, keep and/or yield up the property in good repair. These are legal terms used in lease agreements which are referred to during the course of the lease and at lease expiry.
There are a number of occasions when a tenant may need to consider dilapidations liability; these are predominantly at lease break and lease expiry but also if a landlord serves a ‘wants of repair’ notice. Stuart Neils can support your business to make informed decisions and help to guide you through the various aspects of dilapidations liability.
