BASE BUILDING CONSULTANCY

DILAPIDATIONS SURVEYOR

Base Building Consultancy’s tailored service offers a strategic approach to the often complex process of dilapidations, a term that encompasses a tenant’s legal and financial obligations to return a property to its original condition at the end of a lease, as per their lease terms. Dilapidations can become contentious and financially burdensome without knowledgeable guidance, and this is where Base Building Consultancy genuinely shines.

Emphasising meticulous attention to detail, Base Building Consultancy’s team of surveyors and property experts meticulously assesses the condition of commercial properties to determine the most equitable outcome for landlords and tenants alike. They navigate the myriad of logistical challenges inherent in the restoration process, coordinate repairs, and ensure that any refurbishments adhere to the requisite legal standards. Their approach is underpinned by a profound understanding of the legalities surrounding lease agreements and property laws, which empowers them to negotiate effectively and mitigate potential disputes before they escalate.

Moreover, the comprehensive Dilapidations service provided by Base Building Consultancy transcends mere compliance; it’s structured to provide their clients with foresight and strategic planning. Through their Schedule of Dilapidations, they forecast potential end-of-lease obligations, enabling landlords to pre-emptively plan for property repair works and tenants to budget for future costs. Their intervention often saves thousands in unplanned expenditures. This proactive measure not only helps maintain the asset’s value for landlords but also aids tenants in avoiding unexpected end-of-term costs, creating a smooth transition as tenancies evolve.

PARTY WALL SURVEYORS

Our party wall surveyors specialise in resolving disputes and overseeing construction projects that involve shared walls between adjoining properties. Their primary role is to act as neutral third parties, ensuring that both property owners’ rights are protected and that construction work complies with relevant laws and regulations. 

Additionally, they are responsible for assessing the potential impact of construction work on the shared wall, drafting party wall agreements outlining the rights and responsibilities of each party, and resolving any disagreements that may arise during the construction process. Our team of party wall surveyors expertise in construction law, building practices, and property rights makes us essential for ensuring smooth and lawful development projects involving party walls.

HOUSE SURVEYORS

Base building house surveyors offer a wide range of services focused on assessing the structural integrity and condition of a building’s foundation and core structure. Our professionals specialise in examining the base building components, such as the foundation, walls, floors, and roof, to identify any defects, damages, or potential risks that may impact the overall stability and longevity of the structure.

Using their expertise in building construction and engineering principles, base building house surveyors conduct thorough inspections and evaluations to provide clients with accurate and comprehensive reports on the condition of the property. These reports play a crucial role in helping property owners, investors, and developers make informed decisions about renovations, repairs, or new construction projects, ensuring that the base building is strong, safe, and compliant with regulatory standards.
