Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dilapidation survey?
A dilapidation survey documents the condition of a property before and after nearby construction work. It creates a legal record that protects adjacent property owners from liability for pre-existing damage.
When should a dilapidation survey be arranged?
Consider documenting condition before nearby works begin, subject to access and project arrangements. Agree the survey area and reporting scope; acceptance by third parties is not guaranteed.
Does a dilapidation survey provide legal protection?
The report records baseline condition with dated photographs and observations. It can inform a later comparison, but it does not determine causation or legal liability.
