Dilapidations Strategic Advice
The financial consequences of a Landlord either failing to enforce a Tenants dilapidations obligations; or for a Tenant failing to plan for their dilapidations liabilities can be substantial.
At Barker Associates we believe that prevention is better than the cure when it comes to dilapidations and we are regularly engaged by both Landlord and Tenant clients to provide them with dilapidations strategic advice so that liabilities and financial burdens can be effectively managed and planned for.
During the currency of the lease or tenancy occupation of a property, the Landlord will normally have a number of possible dilapidations remedies and strategies that can be implemented but should the Landlord defer attending to dilapidations until after the tenancy has terminated, then the Landlords only remedy at that stage will be to make a claim for damages. The Landlords and Tenants should therefore consider their view and their dilapidations liabilities or options on a regular basis throughout the currency of the lease and at the very least, should take strategic advice during the last 18 months of the lease term.
