Dilapidations & Schedules of Condition 

At Chawton Hill, we provide comprehensive Schedules of Condition (SoC) preparation services for both residential and commercial properties. A well-constructed SoC serves as a record of a property’s condition at a specific point in time. This acts as a valuable reference for assessing any future changes particularly at the point of the end of a lease.

Dilapidations arise when a leased property fails to meet the terms of the lease, either during the lease period or at the end. This can occur due to neglect, improper maintenance, or a lack of necessary repairs specified by the lease.

Let us help you with successful negotiations and settlements regarding the amounts due.

What’s Included?

What We Include in Our Schedules of Condition

Our team approaches each building as a separate project. However, our SoC generally include the following sections:

• Objectives of the schedule
• Property location and size
• An overview of the construction materials used
• Date, time, and weather conditions during the inspection
• Elements included or excluded from the assessment
• Intended uses of the schedule
• Diagrams of the property
• Definitions of key terms (such as “slight,” “moderate,” and “severe”)
