Jamie Styles

I am a Chartered Building Surveyor and Chartered Building Engineer. I have wide experience of dilapidations and lease exit matters. Whilst my primary focus is occupier clients and minimising dilapidations liabilities, I have extensive experience acting for landlords so understand their perspective.

For occupiers, I provide strategic advice around lease exit strategy including anticipated dilapidations assessments, dilapidations negotiations and advising on conditional lease breaks.

For landlords, I am experienced in preparing and negotiating a schedule of dilapidations on a wide range of properties.

My key clients include occupiers such as Towergate Underwriting Group, Cambridgeshire County Council, Instant Managed Offices, Engie and WH Smith. My landlord clients include City of London Corporation, Howard De Walden Estates, Grosvenor Estate, Christ Hospital and Harmsworth Pensions Funds Trustees Ltd.
