A schedule of condition is one of the most effective ways to protect your position when entering a commercial lease.
We prepare detailed written and photographic records of a property’s condition before a tenant takes occupation and it is typically attached to and referenced within the lease. This helps limit future repairing liabilities and reduces the risk of disputes at lease end, providing clarity for landlords and reassurance for tenants.

Dilapidations relate to a tenant’s repairing obligations during or at the end of a lease.
We act for both landlords and tenants, preparing interim and terminal schedules and providing clear, commercially focused advice. Our role is to help clients understand their position, manage exposure and deal with dilapidations in a fair, proportionate way without unnecessary conflict.
