Dilapidations Negotiations

Extensive knowledge of dilapidations settlements to ensure a seamless transition.

General Information

We provide expert support in negotiating dilapidations claims on behalf of both landlords and tenants. Dilapidations disputes often arise at lease end, where questions of repair, reinstatement, and compliance with lease covenants can lead to complex and costly claims.

Our role is to protect our client’s position, whether that means maximising recovery for landlords or minimising liability for tenants. We combine detailed technical knowledge of building condition with a clear understanding of legal obligations, ensuring claims are fair, reasonable, and commercially sensible.

We handle the full negotiation process, from reviewing schedules of dilapidations and assessing the true extent of liability, through to preparing responses, advising on settlement strategies, and securing cost-effective resolutions. We maintain transparency with our clients throughout the process, advising on our recommended position.

By taking a balanced, pragmatic approach, we aim to resolve disputes efficiently, reduce risk, and deliver outcomes that align with our clients’ wider property and business objectives.
