A Dilapidations survey is a highly detailed survey and report into the current condition of a building, from the physical structure and systems to issues involving furnishings and general wear and tear. They are generally undertaken during a Lease Term or towards the end of a tenancy.
A typical Dilapidations survey includes a full summary of all of the lease obligations, as well as a schedule that sets out the current breaches in relation to repair, reinstatement and decoration. It will also include a proposal that provides details on remediating the breach and associated costs.
