Dilapidation Claims

Most commercial leases require the tenant to keep the property in good repair. At the end of the lease the tenant is likely to be under a duty to make good the property and a landlord can serve a Schedule of Dilapidations upon a tenant requiring him to make repairs to the property, reinstate or remove any alterations made or alternatively to pay damages to the landlord.

Expert evidence of a building and often a valuation surveyor is vital, but it is just as important to get a sound understanding of what the actual obligations are under the lease and the strategies to be employed to achieve a resolution of any potential dispute.

We have extensive experience in advising landlords and tenants (including undertenants) on dilapidations claims and are skilled in negotiating settlements and liaising with experts.
