What is a dilapidations survey?
A dilapidations survey is a survey that is carried out at the end of a tenancy. It assesses the condition of the rental property and ascertains if there are any repairs to be carried out. As tenants are required by the terms of their lease to keep the property in good condition, it helps to ensure that landlords are not left with a large repairs bill due to tenants who have damaged the property!
At RKJ Property Consultants Ltd we provide dilapidations surveys that are accurate, impartial, and competitively priced. This ensures that you have an independent and expert statement of any work that needs to be carried out. Based in West Mersea and the City, London, we serve clients in Colchester, North London, and across Essex. Get in touch today to find out more.

Benefits of a dilapidation survey
There are many benefits to having a dilapidations survey carried out on your property:
- Accurate assessment of condition - You can be confident that you know exactly what condition the property is in.
- Maintenance - Make sure that all routine maintenance has been carried out as agreed.
- Prepare for a new tenancy - You can ensure all necessary work is completed before a new tenant moves in.
- Protects landlords and tenants - A dilapidations survey is an independent and impartial way of ensuring that any damage is assessed. The report will clearly indicate if any issues discovered are damage for which the tenant is liable or acceptable wear and tear. This protects both parties.
