Why Tenants Might Require Dilapidation Surveyors

in Borehamwood and across the Home Counties

Have you ever wondered what a dilapidation survey entails, and why you might need to arrange one as a tenant? Here’s what you need to know:

 

●     In the context of rental properties, dilapidation refers to any repairs required during or at the end of a lease.

●     Dilapidation reports are designed to ensure that both landlord and tenant are aware of the current damages within the property - reinforced with photographic and written evidence.

●     For tenants, dilapidation reports are especially useful for providing reassurance that any significant damage made to the property prior to your tenancy agreement are recorded. This prevents you from falling victim to any hefty fines when your agreement ends.

●     A dilapidation inspection can be performed at any time during a tenancy agreement, but should be arranged in sufficient time to allow any outstanding work to be completed before the lease expires.

However, in some instances landlords can make unfair claims such as demanding the repair of an area that was in bad condition prior to you moving in.
