If you are involved in a commercial lease matter in Preston (PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4 and PR5), Holdens Chartered Surveyors provides professional advice on Schedule of Dilapidations for landlords and tenants.
We act across Preston, Fulwood, Bamber Bridge, Penwortham, Leyland and the wider Central Lancashire area, advising on repair liabilities, reinstatement obligations and negotiated settlements in accordance with current RICS guidance and the Dilapidations Protocol.
A Schedule of Dilapidations is a formal document that identifies breaches of lease covenants relating to repair, decoration, maintenance and reinstatement obligations.
It is commonly prepared:
During the term of a lease
Towards lease expiry
Following service of a break notice
Prior to lease renewal negotiations
When assessing potential liabilities under a commercial lease
Understanding the repairing obligations contained within a Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) lease is essential before any claim or negotiation takes place.
A Schedule of Dilapidations sets out alleged breaches of covenant and identifies the remedial works required to comply with lease obligations.
The schedule may include:
Repairs to building fabric
External and internal decoration requirements
Reinstatement of alterations
Health and safety related defects
Outstanding maintenance obligations
Cost estimates for remedial works
We prepare and assess schedules on behalf of both landlords and tenants, providing clear advice on liability, scope of works and potential financial exposure.

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.
