RICS Dilapidation Surveyors Hampstead and Swiss Cottage
WE ACT FOR TENANTS TO REDUCE CLAIMS
We act for tenants to achieve the best outcome in respect to the liabilities that arise during or at the end of commercial tenancies in relation to the physical condition of the property. We deal with commercial dilapidation matters in respect to office premises, warehouse premises, industrial premises, retail premises, and any other commercial premises subject to commercial dilapidations and a commercial lease.
For tenants, we can often significantly reduce the value of dilapidation claims made against them. Reducing dilapidation liabilities, for commercially leased premises.
As a premiere dilapidation consultancy servicing Hampstead and Swiss Cottage and as a foremost dilapidations expert we can assist tenants in reducing dilapidation liabilities significantly, contact us today if you have received schedules of dilapidations to get free advice and guidance on how to move forward and reduce your liability.
- Initial Review: If you have received a schedule of dilapidations, we will review this free of charge to advise on the potential for reducing the bottom line figure.
- Negotiation: Following instruction, we can negotiate directly with the landlord's surveyor to reduce your claim.
- Dilapidations Protocol: We guide our clients through the dilapidations protocol, a structured approach recommended by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and court procedures. This ensures fairness and transparency by including steps such as serving a 'Schedule of Dilapidations', detailing required repairs, legal notices, and compliance timeframes.
- Favourable Outcome: A favourable outcome typically involves negotiating settlement terms that are financially manageable and reflect the true extent of obligations, potentially reducing the scale of work or associated costs.
REPRESENTING LANDLORDS
For landlords, achieving a favourable outcome often involves ensuring that the property is brought back to its original condition or receiving adequate compensation.
For landlords seeking to resolve dilapidations matters, we can initiate claims and act for them in negotiations with tenants, and continue right through to the completion of dilapidations works.
For landlords, the general process followed is:
- Assessment and Guidance: We provide a thorough assessment and guide landlords through the dilapidations process, ensuring that all necessary legal and procedural steps are meticulously followed.
- Maximising Compensation: Our goal is to ensure that landlords receive adequate compensation to cover the cost of works needed to restore the property as stipulated by the lease.
- Negotiation: We facilitate negotiations to ensure that settlements are equitable and enforceable, potentially leading to satisfactory resolutions that minimise costs and legal conflicts.
- Continuous Communication: We maintain open lines of communication, providing updates, clarifications, and advice throughout the process.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Clayton from Ayling Associates for a home survey on a property I am purchasing in London. From start to finish, Clayton was incredibly thorough, professional, and personable. The level of detail in the survey report was outstanding, covering every aspect of the property with clear, concise explanations. Clayton identified key areas of concern and provided practical, actionable recommendations that have been invaluable as I move forward with the purchase. His expertise, particularly in assessing structural concerns, gave me the confidence I needed to make an informed decision. Clayton was always available to discuss the findings and answer any questions I had, going above and beyond to ensure I fully understood every detail. His communication was excellent throughout the process, making what could have been a stressful experience much smoother and more manageable. I highly recommend Clayton and Ayling Associates to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor. Their commitment to client satisfaction and their deep understanding of property issues truly set them apart. Thank you, Clayton, for your exceptional service!
