Office Dilapidation - Do we need to dilapidate our office at the end of our tenancy?
When relocating to a new space and moving out your existing office, thinking about the state you are going to leave your existing space in is probably the last thing on your mind! However, commercial property dilapidations should be a serious consideration and something you need to check with your landlord to see if they’re your responsibility.
What are commercial property dilapidations?
If you’ve made changes to the interior of the property that you’re leasing, you might be required to carry out dilapidations and return the space to its original state before the end of your lease. Check your lease agreement to see whether this is the case for you.
Dilapidations involve decoration and repair works, including those to floors, walls and ceilings. The process helps your landlord to find a new tenant and will ensure you’re leaving the space in excellent condition.
If you do require commercial property dilapidations, you can hire a team of experts to do this for you, so you don’t have to worry about a thing and can focus on your big move.
