Commercial Building Dilapidations

Yellow Interiors work with both landlords and tenants providing commercial building dilapidation services that deliver a cost-effective solution suitable for all.

As a landlord you may require a dilapidation survey to identify any defects that have been caused to your property by the tenant failing to comply with their liabilities under a lease.  Once identified tenants are given the opportunity to remedy the defect, or alternatively compensate you for any financial loss that has been suffered. 

As a tenant you may be faced with a dilapidation claim document from the landlord at the end of your lease. This should set out where as a tenant you may have failed to comply with your liabilities under the lease.

However, this can be a complicated area due to the variables involved.  Clarification of liability will depend upon reviewing the lease, identifying the condition of the building and the appropriate method of remedy where a breach has occurred. 

Given the uncertain times we are in, landlords may be keen to get spaces back on the market ASAP and tenants needed to reduce their liability.

Dilapidation Claim

Yellow Interiors are fully versed in dealing with schedules of dilapidations and work with Chartered Building Surveyors in dealing with all aspects of the dilapidation claim form. Particularly with the initial collation and issuing through to handing the property back with the claim agreed by both parties to the lease.

Yellow Interiors understand that it is not a one size fits all and are able to offer a full turn key service or ad-hoc advice to both landlords and tenants, which makes the process stress-free and easy to manage for both tenant and landlord.
