Barlow & Associates - Surveys

Whether you're purchasing a freehold or taking a lease you'll be committing to the long-term maintenance of your building.

A Condition Survey will highlight the problems and recommend any action.

Use the survey to negotiate the price down or to get the work done and to budget for future repairs.

If you're considering a lease then a Pre-lease inspection and review of lease terms should be your first course of action. It could save you £000s in the future and will avoid wasting time and fees on non-starter projects at the outset.

When your lease ends you could face a Dilapidations claim i.e. a claim for repairs, redecoration and reinstatement but...

• How far should you go?
• What should it cost?
• Is there scope for negotiation?

Barlows act for both Landlords and Tenants in Dilapidation disputes to protect their position.
