SHW - Comprehensive Support for Landlord Client: Bromley Road, London
Building Consultancy, Education
This case study showcases how SHW’s Building Consultancy Department provided thorough, end-to-end support for a landlord client with a commercial property situated on Bromley Road, London.
Initial Instruction: Dilapidations Services
The project commenced with SHW being appointed to deliver dilapidations services. This typically involves assessing the condition of the property and identifying breaches of lease obligations by the outgoing tenant. SHW produced a detailed dilapidations schedule, clearly outlining the necessary repairs and reinstatement works required to restore the property in line with the lease agreement.
Specification of Works and Project Delivery
Building on the dilapidations schedule, SHW prepared a comprehensive specification of works and assumed the roles of Contract Administrator and Project Manager. Upon successful completion of the works, all relevant compliance certification was provided and the building was handed over in readiness for occupation by a new tenant.
Post-Completion: Licence to Alter Review
Following practical completion, SHW were appointed to review the incoming tenant’s proposed fit-out works for Licence to Alter purposes. This involved assessment of the tenant’s plans to modify the property, ensuring that any alterations would not compromise its structural integrity or future value.
Outcome: Securing a New Tenant
Michael Sherlock, Director at SHW, remarked, “I’m pleased to say the tenant’s proposals were approved and the licence agreed, enabling the landlord to secure a new tenant.”
Conclusion: The Value of Continuity in Professional Advice
This successful outcome highlights the considerable benefits of consistent and professional consultancy. By supporting the landlord through every stage—from initial dilapidations assessment and remedial works to facilitating the re-letting process—SHW delivered a seamless experience, safeguarding the client’s interests and maximising the asset’s potential.
