At Terence Anderson we provide professional building surveying advice in respect of all dilapidation matters.
Lease expiry dilapidations costs are a significant factor to consider at the start of any commercial property lease. This should start with the basic provision of a limiting repairing obligation or the provision of a schedule of condition.
