FAQs
What is dilapidation in commercial property?
Dilapidation refers to the process of restoring a leased property to its original condition (or as per the lease agreement) before handing it back to the landlord.
When should I start planning for dilapidations?
It’s best to start planning six to twelve months before your lease ends to ensure enough time for assessment, planning, and completion.
What does a dilapidation service include?
Services typically include repairs, repainting, flooring restoration, ceiling fixes, white boxing, and structural work, depending on lease requirements.
What happens if I don’t complete the dilapidation work?
If you fail to restore the property, the landlord may arrange for the work to be done and charge you a significantly higher fee than if you handled it proactively.
Do I need to return the property as a ‘white box’?
In most cases, yes. A white box handover ensures the space is neutral, clean and ready for the next tenant. However, some leases have different requirements.
Can you handle large-scale dilapidation projects?
Yes, we have experience managing small retail spaces to large commercial units, ensuring a smooth and efficient handover process.
Will dilapidation work affect my business operations?
We work flexibly to minimise disruption, scheduling work around your timeline or completing projects after business hours where possible.
What industries do you work with?
We work with a wide range of industries, including fashion, tech, food and beverage and more.
