Departure from business premises can involve much more than arranging removals. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise landlords and tenants in Wandsworth on commercial lease obligations, including repair and reinstatement issues, helping clients connect the end-of-term position with the original documents, authorised works and the practical programme for handing the property back.

Reconstruct the contractual record

The lease, condition schedule and licences for alterations may each affect what is expected on departure. We review them together with relevant notices and correspondence. A surveyor can assess condition and proposed works, while we examine the legal basis of the obligations. The starting point should be the agreed documents rather than an assumption that every change must be removed or every defect accepted.

Plan the works and discussion

Access for contractors, removal of fixtures and continued trading can compete for the same time and space. We help identify contractual points requiring early decisions, including whether the landlord has made relevant reinstatement requests. Where a claim is raised, the response should distinguish legal responsibility from technical scope and cost. Evidence of the property's condition and the works undertaken can be important.

Apply the lessons to the next lease

A new letting offers an opportunity to reconsider repair limits, alteration rights and the treatment of improvements. Our wider commercial lease service includes grants, renewals and transfers, allowing the proposed next commitment to be assessed alongside the current exit. Bring a timeline of occupation and works, available photographs and the document bundle so the review can focus on the obligations that actually matter.

Frequently asked questions

Must I accept every item in a landlord's dilapidations schedule?

No assumption should be made either way. The lease obligations, condition evidence and proposed works require legal and surveying review before a considered response is prepared.

Can a licence to alter affect what I remove on departure?

Yes. It may address reinstatement or related conditions, so it should be reviewed with the lease rather than treated as historic permission with no continuing relevance.

Why retain photographs after leaving commercial premises?

They may help establish the condition at handover and work completed. Keep them with correspondence and contractor records in case questions arise after occupation ends.
