What Are the Key Benefits a Dilapidation Survey?
A dilapidation survey is a survey that records the condition of a building’s fabric, mechanical services, and electrical services. This includes a thorough examination of the building’s floors, walls, and ceilings. Dilapidation surveys are usually required to building owners before starting a new leasing contract. Undertaking a dilapidation survey has many key benefits. For example, this survey ensures that maintenance contracts have been carried out according to what the contract requires. Second, dilapidation surveys can serve as a basis for revise maintenance contracts as soon as the actual condition of the building has been established. This survey also informs the owner of the exact condition of the building, which is necessary in making changes or sub-letting. Like all standard surveys, a dilapidation survey is conducted throughout the building, ensuring that every part has been thoroughly considered. The surveyor can also take digital photographs of the building and details of its condition.
