Services provided: Building Consultancy – Building works and dilapidations advice, Agency & Development – Lettings

Challenge: Innes England were instructed to secure a new tenant, manage the outgoing tenant’s dilapidations obligations and carry out required repairs to the property to facilitate a new letting. The project required close collaboration between our Agency & Development and Building Consultancy teams to meet tight timelines and maximise the property’s value.

The Solution

Innes England’s Agency & Development and Building Consultancy teams worked together to deliver an integrated solution:

  • Refurbishment project management: Delivered a tailored building works scheme to remedy property defects and improve its marketability.
  • Dilapidations strategy and negotiation: Commenced negotiations with the outgoing tenant to secure a favourable dilapidations settlement, protecting the client’s financial position.
  • Marketing and letting strategy: Our Agency & Development team secured a tenant off market during the refurbishment phase to minimise any potential void period.
  • Client-focused communication: Maintained regular communication with the client throughout, ensuring progress across works, dilapidations, and lease discussions was aligned with the client’s objectives.

The Results

  • The refurbishment works were completed efficiently, enhancing the property’s appeal.
  • Negotiations for the dilapidations claim are progressing positively.
  • A new letting has been agreed, and the new tenant is now in occupation, significantly reducing the potential void period and maintaining the client’s income stream.
