Easton Bevins offers expert dilapidations advice and support to commercial landlords and tenants in Trafford and the surrounding areas.
Dilapidations refer to repairs or damages that tenants are responsible for under the terms of the lease agreement. If these obligations are not met, landlords may pursue claims for repairs or compensation.
Typically, a landlord will serve a schedule of dilapidations towards the end of a lease. If a dispute arises over any of the claims it can be beneficial to engage a qualified surveyor to help negotiate a resolution.
