Schedules of Dilapidations

Why choose Andrews Eades for your Schedules of Dilapidations reports?

A schedule of dilapidations is a report which identifies reinstatement, repair and redecoration works that a current tenant or lessee of a building would be required to rectify prior to the end of their tenancy or lease agreement. The schedule will identify each defect individually along with an appropriate remedy and reasonable cost should the landlord have to undertake the work themselves. Defects included within a schedule of dilapidations should reflect the repair clause within the tenancy or lease agreement, and associated costs should be a fair assessment of the landlord’s loss incurred by the tenant or lessee not maintaining the building in accordingly.

Our schedules of dilapidations are produced in the SCOTT format which is the industry recognised standard for how dilapidations are reported. We are also highly experienced in the Dilapidations Protocol which sets the best practice process and timescales for resolving a dilapidations claim.

Our surveyors are highly experienced and skilled in producing schedules of dilapidations for both residential and commercial properties and have negotiated many successful claims on behalf of clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve picked out some answers to the most popular questions we get asked by clients and potential customers about our Surveying Services.

To read our full list of frequently asked questions, please click here.

I am concerned that my neighbour has started building work close to my property. What should I do?2023-08-24T11:04:03+01:00

If you have not been served with a party wall notice by your neighbour then it may be that the proposed works are not notifiable under the Act, however there are occurrences where the works are notifiable but the neighbour has not served prior notice. In either case we would recommend giving us a call for further advice as the action required will vary depending on the circumstances. In the immediate term however you could ask your neighbour to cease works until confirmation has been provided by a party wall professional, and take photographs of your property to record its condition.

What will the survey tell me?2023-08-24T11:05:32+01:00

We endeavour to provide a clear concise survey to provide advice from which to negotiate further on price if necessary. We look for defects and advise on the cause, effect and remedy.

What is the difference between a Homebuyers Report (HBR) and a Building Survey?2023-08-24T11:03:15+01:00

In essence a HBR and building survey will cover the same elements of a building, however a building survey offers a more comprehensive and detailed level of analysis. Our building surveys are bespoke reports tailored to each property, so they do not follow a set pro-forma report structure like our HBRs, which are based on the RICS HBR report template. Given the varied nature of materials and construction techniques found in pre-1945 properties, we will only offer a building survey on such properties as this is the only way to ensure we have adequate scope to fully cover the building in the report.

Do you negotiate a dilapidations claim on behalf of a tenant or lessee?2023-08-24T11:04:36+01:00

Yes, in addition to producing a dilapidations claim for the landlord we can also act for a tenant or lessee. In this scenario we would advise the tenant or lessee with regards to their repairing obligations and negotiate the claim on their behalf to try and reduce their liability, ultimately saving them money.
