Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle dilapidations matters in Nottingham?

Yes, we provide comprehensive dilapidations services for commercial properties in Nottingham and the surrounding area, acting for both landlords and tenants.

When should I instruct a surveyor for dilapidations?

For landlords, instruction should be early enough to serve the schedule before lease expiry. For tenants, as soon as you receive a schedule. Early instruction in both cases leads to better outcomes.

How long does the dilapidations process take?

The process typically takes three to six months from initial instruction to settlement, though complex matters or litigation can take longer.

Can you help reduce a dilapidations claim I've received?

Yes. We regularly achieve significant reductions on landlord claims by identifying overstatements, statutory limitations, and technical defences.

Yes. Where matters proceed to litigation or alternative dispute resolution, we can provide expert witness evidence and Scott Schedule preparation.
