ASG Consulting provides dilapidations advice and reporting for commercial landlords and tenants. The service assesses whether a tenant has met lease obligations around repair, maintenance, reinstatement and alterations, and helps parties understand potential liabilities at or near lease end.
Dilapidations can be one of the more contentious moments in a lease. Clear, evidence-based advice keeps the conversation grounded in what the lease actually requires and what the building actually shows.
