Commercial Dilapidations
Clear thinking when the stakes are high.
If you are facing a commercial dilapidations claim, or expect one, timing, judgement and the right advice matter far more than speed or volume.
This site exists to provide a calm, neutral starting point for commercial occupiers, landlords and advisers navigating dilapidations exposure across the UK.
No noise.
No pressure.
Just clarity at the point it is needed most.
THE REALITY
Commercial dilapidations rarely arrive in isolation.
They tend to surface:
- at lease expiry or break
- during disposals or restructures
- when relationships are already strained
- when financial exposure has become unavoidable
By the time most people start searching, decisions already carry consequences.
Yet much of what is available online is:
- outdated
- generic
- written from a single commercial angle
- designed to sell a service rather than steady a situation
That is where unnecessary cost and escalation begin.
OUR ROLE
A neutral front door, not a service provider
We do not provide dilapidations advice, surveying or legal services.
Our role is to help you understand what type of expertise is appropriate, and when, before positions harden or momentum is lost.
Commercial dilapidations can require:
- tenant-side strategy
- landlord-side preparation
- early technical input
- discreet guidance before formal steps are taken
The right conversation, early, can materially change outcomes.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Commercial occupiers and tenants
Facing lease expiry, break clauses or a schedule of dilapidations and looking to reduce exposure sensibly rather than reactively.
Landlords and asset managers
Preparing or managing claims, portfolios or negotiations where proportionality and timing matter.
Directors and professional advisers
Property, finance and legal professionals seeking a reliable route to specialist input without noise or misalignment.
WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
Commercial dilapidations are judgement-led.
They depend on:
- timing
- evidence
- proportionality
- knowing when to push and when not to
This site is designed to support better decisions at that moment.
Not by broadcasting options,
but by helping you arrive at the right one.
