Commercial leases entered into by both Landlord and Tenants detail specific obligations placed upon each party after signing takes place. All leases vary which means that careful, detailed lease interrogation needs to be carried out to ensure that each party fully comprehends what their responsibilities are.

Tenants need to ensure that their repair, decoration, statutory compliance, reinstatement and alteration obligations are fully adhered to avoid costly dilapidations claims at lease end relating to alleged breaches of the lease. A skilled Chartered Building Surveyor should be instructed to provide advice, ideally before lease signing or at any time thereafter.

Also, commercial properties undergo regular maintenance and refurbishment and which would benefit from professional Building Surveyor advice to ensure they are designed, managed and completed lawfully and to the required standard.
