landlord and tenant surveyor jobs
Landlord & Tenant Surveyor jobs are involved at various stages of the commercial lease process in a number of different instances.
Lease Covenants
If you are taking an FRI (full repairing and insuring) lease, you have a responsibility to put the building into full repair in the first place and give it back in repair. Landlord & Tenant Surveyors jobs offer advice on the lease liabilities.
Schedule of Condition
This is a detailed 'snapshot' of the building on a particular day before the lease term starts. It provides a record about existing cracks, dampness, weathering etc. The report can save costly negotiations at the end of the lease, which typically outweighs the initial cost of having one prepared.
Schedule of Dilapidations
This is a document prepared by the landlord, or his surveyor, describing the current condition and future work for the building. The tenant may dispute part or the entire schedule, particularly if there is a Schedule of Condition.
If the lease is still running (an Interim Schedule of Dilapidations), the work will be organised by the tenant's surveyor and checked by the landlord's surveyor. If the lease has expired (a Terminal Schedule of Dilapidations) the two surveyors will negotiate a financial settlement to allow the landlord to repair the building.
License for Alterations
Appointments are carried out on behalf of landlords to review tenant’s proposals for adaptation and fitting out of properties in order to comply with lease documentation. At lease end, a further inspection will identify repairing liabilities under the terms of the license previously granted.
