About Dilapidations Quotes

What is on this site

One question, "dilapidation quote", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• What a dilapidations quote must show to be usable: Item by item against the schedule, scope per item, alterations separated, and the assumptions stated. Why a single total is worth almost nothing.
• Section 18 and what it does to a dilapidations quote: Damages cannot exceed the diminution in the value of the reversion. Why the works total is evidence rather than the claim, and when it stops mattering at all.
• Who to instruct: surveyor, valuer or contractor: Three different professionals answer three different questions, and instructing the wrong one first is the most common and most expensive sequencing error.
• Dilapidations timing: when a quote is a budget and when it is evidence: The same document does completely different work depending on the stage. Where the leverage is, and the date after which the cheapest option disappears.

Dilapidations Quotes is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, HM Courts and Tribunals Service or any government body, and it is not a firm of surveyors, valuers or solicitors. Nothing here is legal advice or advice on a particular claim, and dilapidations outcomes turn on the lease, the licences and the landlord's intentions, none of which this site can see. We publish no cost, rate or square foot figure anywhere: no authority publishes them, they are specific to a building and a schedule, and a range invented here would be quoted back in somebody's negotiation as though it meant something. Every statutory statement is quoted from legislation.gov.uk and read on the date shown at the top of this page. We take no commission from any firm and carry no paid placements.
