Why Tenants Might Require Dilapidation Surveyors
Have you ever wondered what a dilapidation survey involves or why you might need to arrange one as a tenant or landlord? In the context of rental properties, dilapidation refers to any repairs or maintenance required during or at the end of a lease.
A dilapidation report provides an impartial and detailed record of the property’s condition, supported by photographic and written evidence of any existing damage. For tenants, a dilapidation survey offers valuable reassurance, ensuring that any pre-existing issues are clearly documented so you can avoid costly disputes or unfair repair charges when your tenancy ends.
A dilapidation inspection can be conducted at any stage of a tenancy, although it is best arranged before the lease expires to allow sufficient time for any remedial work to be completed. At Simon Levy Associates, our RICS-qualified dilapidation surveyors provide trusted, professional advice and support to both landlords and tenants across Borehamwood, Barnet, Watford and the wider Home Counties.
Get Professional Help from Qualified Dilapidation Surveyors
Most lease agreements require tenants to repair any damage caused during their tenancy. However, disputes can arise when landlords make unreasonable claims for issues that existed before the tenancy began. From cracked plaster to damaged fixtures, you shouldn’t be held responsible for repairs that weren’t your fault.
If you believe your landlord’s schedule of dilapidations is inaccurate or excessive, a professional dilapidation surveyor can help you respond effectively. Our experienced team at Simon Levy Associates provides expert advice and prepares robust dilapidation reports in line with the dilapidations protocol to ensure a fair and transparent outcome.
