Market Leaders in Dilapidations
Dilapidations has been a core pillar of our business since our founding. Our team doesn't just follow industry standards—we help set them. Our specialists have previously served on the RICS Dilapidations Steering Group and regularly deliver thought leadership for the RICS and higher education providers.
We act for both landlords and tenants, handling claims ranging from minor repairs to multi-million-pound disputes. We understand that every lease is unique, which is why we avoid "off-the-peg" solutions. Instead, we provide pragmatic, commercially focused advice designed to secure the best possible settlement.
Expert Witness & Dispute Resolution
When property disputes become complex, our team of surveyors, quantity surveyors, and project managers steps in to provide clarity. We are known for our thorough, evidence-based reporting in cases of professional negligence, construction defects, and boundary issues.
"Our primary duty is to the truth and the integrity of the judicial process. We provide the impartial, technical assessments that legal authorities trust to make informed decisions."
Led by Industry Experts
Our strength lies in our people. Our Dilapidations team is led by Rob Burke, a Lead Director with extensive experience in navigating the complexities of the RICS guidance notes and CPR Part 35.
We pride ourselves on being approachable experts. We continue our commitment to sharing knowledge through the widely-read Watts Pocket Handbook and our regular technical updates, ensuring our clients are always ahead of legislative changes and industry trends.
From Historic Assets to Modern Infrastructure
Our track record spans an incredible variety of property types. We are as comfortable working on converted aircraft hangars and sensitive conservation projects as we are on high-street retail units and public sector frameworks. This breadth of experience allows us to bring shared knowledge and best practices to every project we undertake, regardless of scale.
