Dilapidations

Most non-residential property leases require tenants to put and/or keep their property in repair during the term of the lease. This obligation is a common subject of dispute between landlords and tenants, particularly towards the end of a lease term or when approaching a break option. Our team at Chris Smart can provide advice to landlords and tenants on:

Lease clauses and obligations.
The viability and validity of a dilapidations claim.
Negotiating options and agreeing suitable outcome.
Appropriate levels of repair.
Unauthorised alterations to the building.
Exit costs.
Settling claims.
CPR Dilapidations Protocol.

We can also prepare the following: -

Interim Schedules of Dilapidations.

Repair Notices.

Terminal and Final Schedules of Dilapidations.

Scott Schedules.

Quantified Claims for Damages.
