dilapidations advice
Engaging with the dilapidations process well in advance of the lease’s expiry can be highly beneficial for both landlords and tenants, helping to mitigate potential disputes and avoid costly legal proceedings.
Issuing a schedule of dilapidations before the tenant vacates the property also provides an opportunity for the tenant to carry out necessary repairs themselves, often resulting in cost savings for both parties.
