Dilapidations Advice
It is beneficial for both landlords and tenants that the dilapidations process be initiated well before the end of the lease period, helping avoid unwanted complications, or even costly legal battles.
Serving a schedule of dilapidations before the tenant has vacated the building also allows the tenant to opt to carry out repairs themselves, which can deliver savings for both parties.
