An overall definition of dilapidations is the “exit costs” to a tenant of putting a property back into repair and potentially reinstating tenant’s alterations at the termination of a tenancy/lease. These dilapidations costs are frequently a shock to a tenant who receives a “Schedule of Dilapidations” from their landlord.

Dilapidations can be an area of dispute between landlords and tenants as the lifespan of leases becomes shorter. At Symondson & Co we can advise both landlords and tenants upon the valuation and legal dilapidations issues that influence the level of dilapidations claims at lease/tenancy expiry.
Navigating a dilapidations claim goes much further than the “Schedule of Dilapidations”. It is the skill of the dilapidations negotiator that ensures success.
