Dilapidations Claim/Defence

Dilapidations claims for the landlord, Defence for the tenant

Dilapidations is a specialised field, we work with landlords to prepare a fair a reasonable claim to recover the cost of putting a commercial property into the condition and repair it should be left in at the end of lease. We also work with tenant to minimise landlord’ claims which can be exaggerated and unreasonable. We work out a strategy that puts the client at the centre of the process.

The advice we provide is always relevant to the building and to the individual lease, to give our clients the best possible opportunity to gain value or minimise risk/cost. Claims on behalf of the landlord are correctly assessed and presented, in accordance with relevant protocols, guidance and legislation.

Defending claims on behalf of the tenant require due diligence of the lease terms, robust challenge of the landlord’s claim based on strong evidence and correct interpretation of the lease and the law.
