Dilapidations Damages Claims
Many Landlords and Tenants encountering dilapidations for the first time are surprised to learn that the cost of physically undertaking possible dilapidations remedial works is not necessarily the “measure” of the true loss that the Landlord or Tenant parties may have suffered.
Statute such as Section 18(1) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 together with an extensive body of case law has an effect on how dilapidations damages can and should be calculated. Furthermore, there are potentially criminal offences associated with making reckless or knowingly false dilapidations damages claims.

We are also regularly engaged by Tenants in receipt of a claim to review and defend the claim on their behalf.
