Since TCL Chartered Surveyors was first established, we’ve made it our business to provide expert advice to our clients, in order to simplify the complexities of the dilapidations process.
If you’re a landlord or tenant entering into a lease, you’ve been served with a Schedule of Dilapidations, or you’re nearing the end of your lease, we are the perfect team to assist. We have decades of surveying expertise within our team, and we can guide you through the whole process with ease.
It is always a prudent decision to appoint a building surveyor before committing to, initiating a break clause in, or reaching the end of a lease. Otherwise, you may find yourself unprotected, and liable for the building’s eventual repair/reinstatement works.
We provide both landlords and tenants with professional advice concerning their potential liability for the repair and reinstatement of leasehold property.
Our detailed and professional reports are in accordance with current legislation and protocol, ensuring that a tenant complies with their lease obligations, and returns the property ready for letting. This contributes to minimising vacant space, and maximising financial return.
If you are approaching the last three years of your lease, our building surveyors can provide comprehensive advice regarding your lease obligations. Doing so can help ensure that you’re not held accountable for any repair or reinstatement costs over the legal obligations that are already contained within your lease.
When acting on behalf of either the landlord or tenant, TCL’s building surveyors will provide a comprehensive Schedule of Condition, accurately recording the condition of a property prior to entering into a lease.
This is an essential document to limit or prevent any spurious claims at the end of the lease, in terms of a tenant’s repair and reinstatement liability (See Schedules of Condition).
