Dilapidations are matters of disrepair arising under a lease, and disputes over repairs often reach the stage where a formal schedule of dilapidations is required.  This complex area of dispute resolution requires detailed knowledge of the law and practice of dilapidations, the Civil Procedure Rules and methods of repair.

We act regularly for large retailers, major PLC's and individuals in:

• Preparing schedules of dilapidations on behalf of landlords
• Acting for tenants in defending dilapidations claims made by landlords
• Preparing schedules on behalf of tenants where a landlord has defaulted under his repairing covenants - for instance on multi-let buildings
• Preparing schedules of condition before commencement of leases
• Service charge disputes
