In the main our activities assist clients on such as:

 

•          Condition surveys – identifying possible pitfalls before problems arise to assist decisions on facilities or remedial action
•          Contract review – sometimes an independent opinion can steer you away from in appropriate contract terms or conditions
•          Dilapidations – ask our advice to resolve any dilapidation claims on previous offices or on how to cost-effectively minimise any such potential disputes
•          Space planning – you know it’s the new ‘’home’ that you want’ – but is the layout condusive to aesthetics, staff welfare and productivity
•          Rent & rates reviews – don’t get saddled with inappropriate commitments: we may be able to negotiate in your favour
•          24/7 maintenance – or finally we can become a ‘partner’ in your long term maintenance to support your in-house employees or as a sub-contract alternative.

 

In effect, BCL offers the complete package in Property Services.

A few more aspects of our services are detailed below.

No fuss protection that lessens future liability (Condition Survey)

A building condition and defects survey is a survey/report that assesses the condition of a building. In particular, a building condition survey

will examine the structure, fit and finish, safety compliance, DDA compliance, as well as an overall view of the building. It can be likened to a health check-up for the building. This information is then collected, organized, and a report is put together full of pictures and explanations of what needs to be fixed, updated, or replaced.

Defending against dilapidation claims

Not only do we protect the location to which you are moving, but protect you at the location you are leaving.

At the end of your commercial property lease, you are likely to be served with a schedule of dilapidations from your landlords. Some landlords can be extremely reasonable with their tenants, whilst others can be quite aggressive. It's the luck of the draw as to which you'll get as a commercial property tenant, but the fact remains that a schedule of dilapidations will rarely contain any good news from the tenant's perspective.

BCL believes most dilapidations claims from landlords can be defended successfully, with the tenant saving considerable sums of money against the original claim.

The Maintenance Package

BCL Qube helps you to perform regular maintenance in accordance with the terms of the lease. Remember, the maxim “failing to plan is planning to fail”.  Professional planned and reactive maintenance can avoid ‘headaches’ in the long term.
