Specialist advice. Clear liabilities. Fair outcomes.

Leases can be complex – and disputes expensive. Our landlord and tenant advisory services help clarify responsibilities, reduce risk, and support positive outcomes for both parties at every stage of the lease lifecycle.

What we offer

We support commercial landlords and tenants with strategic, technical and legal advice around dilapidations, lease obligations, and schedules of condition. Our team combines deep building surveying expertise with commercial awareness and strong negotiation skills – providing practical solutions and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

We provide:

Schedules of Dilapidations
– interim or terminal claims prepared with forensic lease analysis and technical assessment
Dilapidation Assessment Reports
– for budgeting, lease surrender, dispute preparation, or tax accounting (FRS 102)
Negotiation of dilapidation disputes
– supporting landlords or tenants with commercial strategy and technical defence
Schedules of Condition
– accurately recording existing condition at lease start to protect tenants and clarify obligations
Expert witness services
– supporting court proceedings where a settlement cannot be reached amicably

Dilapidations and lease disputes require more than technical understanding – they demand strategic insight and balanced judgement. CHPK can help you:

Reduce exposure to unfounded claims or inflated costs
Clearly understand your lease obligations and liabilities
Secure a fair and commercially sound outcome – whether claiming or defending
Gain peace of mind through expert-led documentation and negotiation
Protect your investment and reputation with well-informed, proactive advice

It is an absolute pleasure working with the CHPK team and I could not be more happy with the service they provide and the support they have given.
