The reports were exactly what we needed, and the insurance company were happy.
Gary Brown, 4 Front Street Car Sales Ltd
We thought we had looked after our garage showroom well, so were shocked to receive a dilapidations claim for over £80,000 at lease end. We appointed Dilapsolutions, known for their effective use of 'Section 18/Diminution Valuation,' and they successfully helped reduce the settlement to £15,000! I was truly blown away by their prompt action and outcome. An excellent result!
Richard Austin, Vinegar Hill
When we relocated our Bristol store, we were taken aback when our former Landlord issued a dilapidations claim at over £36,000, for works that they were about to progress, despite leaving the shop in good condition. Dilapsolutions guided us through the process and, leveraging their unique expertise, helped us settle at a highly favourable amount of £17,500. They brought calm to a challenging situation.

My team work with Dilapsolutions in connection with dilapidations matters around the UK, as their offering of both building surveyors and valuers, makes them a very effective dilapidations consultancy. The advantages of a ‘one-stop shop’ are clear not only in relation to price but also client service and expertise. The ability to be able to call upon all of their experience and know-how is invaluable for both our landlord and tenant clients and when it comes to trial work and ADR they are really excellent.
James Tucker, Director, Tuckers
Paul and his team at Dilapsolutions represented us when dealing with the early surrender of a lease on a Grade 2 listed building which had not been “cherished” during its tenanted life. Despite the difficulties encountered with the outgoing tenants, we managed to agree on a suitable settlement with them so that the appropriate remedial works could be completed before the property was reoccupied. As such we have just instructed Paul and his team to deal with a similar matter on our behalf now and look forward to another successful outcome.

Figment Productions Ltd
When we moved our warehouse to save costs, we were shocked by the size of the dilapidations claim from our landlord! Dilapsolutions quickly reassured us, explaining the complex process and the law.
They highlighted that the only way to minimise the payment is to involve both a chartered building surveyor to negotiate remedial work costs and a valuer to apply the legal cap (Section 18/Diminution in Value). Dilapsolutions, by providing both surveyors, exceeded our expectations. Their teams collaborated to settle at a nominal sum! We're delighted, especially in today's challenging business environment with rising costs.
Management Consultancy, Derby
Having given notice to vacate our leased offices in Vernon Gate, Derby, we were presented with a dilapidation claim of circa £70k. We engaged the services of Dilapsolutions to manage negotiations on our behalf. Neil and the team carried out a thorough survey of the premises and began the process of reducing the value of the claim. We were very pleased to finally agree a vastly reduced settlement (circa 50%).
We found Dilapsolutions to be very knowledgeable, professional and efficient and would have no hesitation in utilising their services again.
