Dilapidations and schedules of condition


Dilapidations and Schedules of Condition

Dilapidations claims and lease-end liabilities are complex, and often contentious. Pearl

Development Ltd provides expert advice and reporting for both landlords and tenants,

helping you protect your position and negotiate with confidence.

Our Chartered Building Surveyors prepare Schedules of Dilapidations in line with:

  • The RICS Guidance Note (7th Edition)
  • The PLA Dilapidations Pre-Action Protocol

We identify breaches, specify remedial works, and provide costed reports to support your

claim, whether interim or terminal. Our reports are clear, compliant, and professionally

presented to withstand scrutiny.

Acting for Tenants

We also act for outgoing tenants, providing:

  • Strategic advice to defend or reduce claims
  • Negotiation support with the landlord’s surveyor
  • Pre-lease assessments to help budget and plan
  • Tactical advice for exit strategies and settlement

We understand the full range of defences available and are adept at securing fair, final

settlements.

For incoming tenants, we prepare detailed Schedules of Condition to record the property’s

state at lease commencement, protecting you from future liability.
