Dilapidations claims are in our opinion the most frequently misunderstood and mishandled class of property disputes. Frequently they can become an expensive exercise for both Landlords and Tenants making it essential that the client receives at the outset the right advice not just from specialist lawyers but, more importantly in most cases, from a surveyor who has the necessary expertise to draw up or respond to a schedule of disrepair. We think the key to success is to work as a team with the surveyor to ensure that we give each other the necessary guidance to give the complete service. All too often we see the other sides solicitor abdicating responsibility to the surveyor or sometimes vice-versa - a recipe for failure.

We undertake dilapidations claims for private clients through to national multiple retailers and government agencies. For a non-committal initial telephone consultation please contact us.
