Service Description
All leased properties put obligations on the tenant or occupier, to keep the property in a certain state of repair and decoration. Property dilapidations refer to the state of a property that falls below the required level.
Property dilapidations can be very time consuming as well as costly
Most leases detail the extent to which the tenant must keep the commercial property in repair and good order. They also usually require the tenant to re-decorate and remove any alterations made to the commercial property at the end of the lease.
Failure to comply usually results in a dilapidations claim from the landlord. These claims can range from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of pounds, depending on the size and nature of the property. It is extremely important to consider and understand in full the exact nature of any future property dilapidation liabilities before you sign any lease.
Westminster Building Company can help you to put together a planned maintenance programme, which will ensure that any necessary repairs are carried out during the life of the lease, to help ensure you are not presented with a large liability at the end of it.
