Dilapidations
Our approach to dilapidations is in accordance with the RICS guidance note in dealing with dilapidations, the common law principles of how loss should be calculated and the Preaction Protocol for Claims Damages (the ‘Dilapidations Protocol”) produced by the Property Litigation Association. This balanced and reasonable approach is intended to keep dilapidation matters out of the courts and therefore avoid, where possible, unnecessary costs.
The law of dilapidations is constantly evolving as the courts establish precedents and Government enact new regulations, such as the Civil Procedure Rules.
We are experienced in acting on behalf of both landlords and tenants and have dealt with all dilapidation matters for parties varying in size from private individuals to blue chip companies such as Vodafone.
However, practical and professional advice is not reserved for the UK’s biggest companies; we are always pleased to take on dilapidations instructions whatever the size of your company or property interest.
