If you are involved in a commercial lease matter in Preston, Holdens Chartered Surveyors provides professional advice on Interim and Terminal Dilapidations for landlords and tenants.
We act across Preston, Fulwood, Penwortham, Leyland and the wider Lancashire area, advising on repair liabilities, reinstatement obligations and negotiated settlements in accordance with current RICS guidance and the Dilapidations Protocol.
Dilapidations relate to breaches of lease covenants concerning repair, decoration and reinstatement.
They commonly arise:
During the term of a lease
At lease expiry
Following service of a break notice
When a landlord prepares a formal claim
When a tenant wishes to assess potential liability
Understanding the extent of repairing obligations within a Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) lease is critical before negotiations begin.
An Interim Schedule of Dilapidations may be served during the term of a lease where a landlord considers that the property is not being properly maintained.
This may occur when:
Visible deterioration is identified
Repair obligations are not being met
Lease compliance needs to be enforced
We prepare and assess interim schedules, advising on liability, scope of works and potential cost exposure.
A Terminal Schedule of Dilapidations is typically prepared towards the end of a lease or shortly after expiry.
It sets out:
Alleged breaches of repair
Decoration requirements
Reinstatement obligations
Estimated cost of remedial works
We act for:
Landlords preparing Terminal Schedules
Tenants responding to claims
Negotiating financial settlements
Advice is provided with reference to the Dilapidations Protocol and relevant case law.
We understand Preston property inside and out.

Throughout the process, Mike and the team were in communication regularly. Mike took the time to explain the survey that would be done in advance, spoke to me on the survey day and then talked us through the findings at length.
