 Schedules of Condition 

A Schedule of Condition is now a standard part of commercial property life, often prepared at the start of a lease for both residential and commercial properties. 

This factual record: 

• Provides a benchmark of the property’s state before tenancy begins
• Protects landlords and tenants by clearly documenting condition
• Avoids disputes at lease end by offering a fair, agreed reference point 

Schedules of Dilapidations 

At the end of a lease, a Schedule of Dilapidations is prepared on behalf of the landlord. This report: 

• Details outstanding repairs, compliance issues, and decoration requirements
• Identifies remedial works needed to return the property to its agreed state
• Estimates the tenant’s cost liability for undertaking these works 

These reports are invaluable tools for both landlords and tenants, ensuring transparency, compliance, and fair outcomes in lease agreements.
