Dilapidation Assessment & Reports
Protecting Landlords & Tenants with Expert Property Assessments
A Dilapidation Assessment & Report is a vital document that ensures both landlords and tenants understand their responsibilities when a lease comes to an end. Whether you’re a commercial tenant looking to minimise liability or a landlord ensuring your property is returned in good condition, having a professional dilapidation report in place is essential for avoiding disputes and unexpected costs.
At Presence & Co., we provide expert dilapidation assessments, ensuring a fair, transparent, and compliant process for all parties involved.
What is a Dilapidation Assessment & Report?
A dilapidation report outlines any damage, disrepair, or lease breaches in a property at the end of a tenancy. It determines:
- What needs to be repaired or reinstated before the lease ends.
- Who is responsible for the costs – tenant or landlord.
- Whether financial compensation is required in place of repairs.
- How the property compares to its original lease condition.
It is typically used in commercial leases to ensure that tenants return the property in an agreed condition, helping landlords recover costs for necessary repairs.
Why Do You Need a Dilapidation Report?
- For Landlords – Protect your property and recover costs for tenant damage.
- For Tenants – Ensure you only pay for fair and reasonable repairs.
- Prevent Disputes – A clear record ensures legal compliance and transparency.
- Plan for Future Works – Helps landlords assess refurbishment needs before re-letting.
Without a dilapidation report, tenants risk unexpected costs, and landlords may struggle to recover expenses related to property repairs or reinstatements.
