Dilapidations refer to the legal obligations relating to the condition of a leased property at the end of the lease. It is a specific area of law relating to breaches of a tenant's lease obligations or covenants.
Whether it’s an office or retail unit, the tenant is legally beholden to correct the terms of their lease, including repairs and decorations.
If you’re a tenant or landlord, it’s important to look at your lease to see what it says about the upkeep and maintenance of your property. It should specify what constitutes dilapidations and the obligations associated with them.
Before a lease ends, it helps to have a survey of your property.
Whether you’re a tenant or landlord, Stripout London has over two decades of experience in dilapidations throughout London.
No matter if you're a landlord looking to protect your investment or a tenant in need of guidance on your legal obligations, we can provide outstanding support. Our services include carrying out a survey to identify the areas of the property that require attention, estimating the costs for repairs or restorations.
We can also offer help during lease negotiations.
Once the schedule of dilapidations is served to the tenant, negotiations between the landlord and tenant may occur to settle the dilapidations claim. This negotiation could involve agreeing on repairs, compensation, or settlements. If you do need further assistance, our experts also offer dispute resolution and litigation support.
If an agreement cannot be reached, legal proceedings often occur. This could result in court involvement to determine the extent of the tenant’s liabilities and potential compensation. However, you obviously want to avoid this if possible.
