Dilapidation Works for Landlords
We carry out the works requested by a landlord under a dilapidation claim - bringing your commercial property back to the condition required by the lease.
What is a Dilapidation Claim?
When a commercial lease comes to an end, a landlord can serve a schedule of dilapidations - a list of works the tenant is required to carry out to return the property to the condition agreed in the lease. This typically covers repairs, redecoration and the reinstatement of any alterations made during the tenancy.
Leonard James undertakes these works on behalf of landlords. Working directly from the schedule, we make sure the property is brought back to lease standard quickly, to a high finish, and with clear evidence of completion to support your claim.
