- Lease renewals
- Rent reviews
- Quality property management

- Schedule of condition & dilapidations
Whether there is a clause that you don’t understand or you want to make sure that your property is adequately protected within the agreement, it’s essential to do your research. A RICS regulated Surveyor will be able to provide professional advice on any issues that arise from both parties, putting everyone in the position to participate in a fair tenancy agreement negotiation.
From our experience, when a landlord and tenant negotiation is handled appropriately, it yields long-term stable leases with financial security for both parties.
In many cases the other side will employ a surveyor to act on their behalf. Therefore, you should seek professional advice to counter. The best outcome in almost all cases are achieved where professional advice is sought.
