You (and your neighbour) will have a copy of the building’s condition prior to the start of works. This is important when the build process is completed as there may be a dispute regarding alleged damage to the neighbouring property. Having a dilapidation report done prior to the building process can help negotiate through the dispute without expensive legal costs.
