A schedule of dilapidations is a written document usually prepared by the Landlord's surveyor which details breaches of the lease and requires the tenant to carry out repairs, redecoration and in some cases remove alterations. They may be served during or after a lease has finished. Surprisingly, in many cases tenants are not aware of the full extent of their obligations under the contract they signed.

If you are searching for premises or are about to sign a lease and have not received advice from a chartered surveyor or solicitor - STOP. A lease is a binding contract and you must understand exactly what it says, otherwise you could be committing your company or yourself to repairing someone else's property and significant liabilities. Most leases are different and the exact wording is critical. Accurately worded Schedules of Condition help reduce liabilities at the end of the lease and are essential to reducing costs.
