Dilapidations claims are based upon contract law, supplemented by case law and statute. A lease essentially creates a contractual relationship between two parties and a schedule of dilapidations is an allegation of breach of contract, which could result in legal action. The Civil Procedure Rules and the Property Litigation Association's Pre-action Protocol have fundamentally changed the method in which dilapidations are now approached. In our opinion this is not an area of practice for the inexperienced.
As a record of evidence that can be put before the court, the clarity and accuracy of a schedule of dilapidations is extremely important. Our team can act on your behalf in compiling a dilapidation survey and/or Scott schedule at the end of the lease. Our expertise will ensure that you have the best possible advice with regard to remedy and damages.
