Defect reports
Our office defect reports identify issues with the property prior to lease commencement or handover. These reports provide an independent review of the space’s condition so you don’t inherit problems that should be the landlord’s responsibility. This can save you in the future, both from costly repairs and potential disputes.
A defect report from Niche can help you:
- Identify pre-existing damage or non-compliant elements in the tenancy
- Avoid being held responsible for issues you didn’t cause
- Create a clear reference point for lease negotiations
- Raise repair requests with evidence to support your case
- Reduce the risk of disputes with landlords or building managers
Â
We can document both visible and more hidden issues, including damage to walls, ceilings, lighting, flooring, HVAC systems, and more. All findings are supported with photographic evidence and presented in a format you can rely on. We can tailor a defect report to your needs, focusing on particular areas of concern as needed.

Dilapidation reports
Commercial dilapidation reports record the condition of a tenancy at a fixed point in time, typically at lease commencement or before nearby construction works. These are essential if your tenancy is about to begin, nearing its end, or if you just want to establish a baseline for future comparison and record-keeping.
A dilapidation report from Niche gives you:
- A clear, timestamped record of the condition of your premises
- Photographic evidence of wear, damage or existing issues
- Protection against being blamed for damage caused by external works
- Independent documentation to support negotiations or insurance claims
- Peace of mind when signing a new lease or renewing an existing one.
Â
Our team conducts a full inspection and creates a detailed report that can be used by tenants, project managers or legal representatives if needed.

Makegood reports
Makegood clauses and obligations can be complex and are often a major source of cost and conflict at the end of a lease. Our makegood reports assess the current condition of your tenancy and provide a practical summary of what needs to be done to meet your obligations without overspending.
A makegood report from Niche will help you:
- Understand exactly what your lease requires at end-of-term
- Avoid unnecessary or excessive reinstatement works
- Dispute inflated makegood claims with clear evidence
- Plan and budget effectively for your lease exit
- Engage the right contractors and reduce overall costs.
Â
We review your lease terms alongside the current condition of the space, identifying only what is essential to satisfy the makegood clause. This ensures your exit is smooth, compliant and cost-effective.
We can even handle your makegood for you – simply speak to our team today to find out more.
