Scott's Schedule
This is a standard format utilised to allow the negotiations to proceed in a logical process.
The remedial work required – this should not be too specific, and certainly not prescriptive i.e. it should be ‘repair roof' rather than ‘repair roof with an elastomeric felt.
We would also recommend that the surveyor, whilst in negotiations, also manages the client's expectations, ensuring these are realistic.
What sort of Chartered Surveyor?
Many Chartered Building Surveyors specialise in Dilapidations work and are the most common type of Chartered Surveyor found carrying out this discipline; in fact some practices specialise in this area.
What sort of fees should I expect?
The RICS guidance with regard to fees is that they should not be based upon a commission basis, i.e. based upon the savings obtained by the Chartered Surveyor working for the tenant or the size of the claim if working for the Landlord. Fees should be based either on an hourly rate, a day rate, or a fixed charge. Very few surveyors will work for a fixed cost due to it being very difficult to establish how much time will be taken in dealing with such a claim.
