Summary
I’m joined by Tim Clarke, Managing Director of Harrison Clark, to talk all things dilapidations. We break down what they are, why they matter, and how surveyors help both landlords and tenants navigate risk.

This is a practical and honest conversation about commercial surveying, lease liability, and the real impact of good advice.

What we cover

• Tim’s journey into surveying
• Public vs private sector experience
• What dilapidations mean in practice
• Why landlords protect asset value
• How claims are assessed and negotiated
• Lease wording and risk exposure
• Schedules of condition explained
• Tenant and landlord strategies
• Real examples from practice
• The human side of surveying
