Surveys
We undertake a range of building surveys, including pre-acquisition for both freehold and leasehold interests, vendors surveys and refinancing reports. The reports can be fully customised to suit your specific requirements.

We also work closely with a number of sub-consultants including Mechanical & Electrical and Environmental specialists as required to be able to provide you with a complete picture of the target property. The reports also contain advice in respect of statutory matters, lease related information and queries for the vendor and solicitors.

We can provide defect analysis reports for leaks, cracks and a whole range of issues, containing advice as to the likely source of the problem and the most effective remedies.

Dilapidations
We act for both Landlords and Tenants in respect of dilapidations.

This gives us a breadth of knowledge in respect of appropriate negotiation tactics and keeps us appraised of trends in the marketplace. Our advice and strategy will vary depending on which party we are acting for.

We are particularly commercially minded and work closely with you to deliver the best possible result in the shortest possible time frame.

Send us your lease and any other related information and we will start the ball rolling for you. Typically the earlier you get us this information, the more we can help you.

Schedules of condition
A schedule of condition is an effective tool for mitigating your lease end liability. We undertake these for both Landlords and Tenants, usually immediately prior to commencement of a lease.

A schedule of condition is a ‘line in the sand’ recording the condition of a property at a particular moment in time. These assist both parties in understanding their respective repairing obligations at lease expiry. The schedule of condition should always be appended to and referenced in your lease in order to provide adequate protection.
