A straightforward problem-solving guide for landlords and tenants involved in commercial property dilapidations in the UK & Ireland. Most leases make tenants responsible for repairs, decorations and to reinstate any alterations they've made. Landlords are legally entitled to compensation, or damages, for any not done by lease end. This is assessed by the landlord instructing a chartered building surveyor (CBS) to identity disrepair and price remedies in a schedule sent to the ex-tenant, who employs their own CBS to negotiate. At law, the damages will be the lower of the cost of the remedial works OR the impact (if any) they have on the property's value. Usually, this is far less. A chartered valuation surveyor provides this expertise. This App explains common scenarios and terminology, illustrated with real-life case studies, and allows you to find experts local to you, as well as speaking directly to our team of both building, and valuation, surveyors.
