Yes, we act for both landlords and tenants across Southwark. Our tenant clients include professional services firms at London Bridge, creative businesses in Bermondsey and retail operators around Borough Market. We help tenants understand the true extent of their obligations and negotiate proportionate settlements.
A terminal schedule of dilapidations is a claim served by the landlord at or near lease end, listing every breach of the tenant's repairing, decorating and reinstatement obligations under the lease. Each item is described, referenced to the relevant covenant and costed. The schedule is the basis for negotiation between the parties, and typically involves surveyor-to-surveyor discussions.
In Southwark, the dilapidations process generally takes three to seven months from schedule service to settlement. Larger instructions around London Bridge and the South Bank tend towards the longer end, while smaller claims on Bermondsey or Peckham commercial units can settle more quickly.
