A dilapidations schedule is a formal document setting out the breaches of a tenant's lease obligations, typically prepared towards the end of a lease term. It covers repair, decoration and reinstatement requirements for the property in Holloway.
We act for both landlords and tenants in Holloway. For landlords, we prepare and pursue dilapidations claims. For tenants, we review claims, assess liability and negotiate settlements.
Landlords should ideally instruct a surveyor 12 to 18 months before lease expiry. Tenants should seek advice as soon as a dilapidations claim is received, or before lease expiry to understand potential liability.
Claims are valued based on the cost of carrying out the works identified in the schedule, capped at the diminution in value of the landlord's reversion as required by Section 18 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927.
