Dilapidations

We assist landlords and tenants with negotiations relating to dilapidation claims. We advise on any dilapidation liability that may be applicable, supported by a property inspection and issuing a condition report or building survey.

A dilapidation claim will usually occur at the point of lease renewal or break when a landlord believes the occupier is in breach of its repairing, decoration or reinstatement obligations as set out in the tenancy agreement.

 

Our service includes 

 

  • Schedules of dilapidations during, or at termination of lease
  • Terminal dilapidation claims compiled
  • Schedules of Condition prepared for attachment to leases
  • Interim Schedules and Repair Notices prepared
  • Management of the completion and monitoring of dilapidation works
  • Expert Witness services when dilapidation disputes escalate
  • Section 18 valuations prepared by RICS registered valuers
  • Defence of dilapidation claims
