The Dilapidations Consultancy is unique. Unlike any other surveying practice or property consultancy, the Dilapidations Consultancy (as the name would suggest) is concerned only with dilapidation matters in commercial property. Dilapidations has always been a core discipline within the building consultancy remit for many practices and practitioners, but often as one of many service lines and without the dedicated focus this complex area of property law truly requires.
We have built a reputation, and loyal client base, on the strength of our unparalleled and strategic expertise in this field, which pays dividends for our clients who simply cannot afford to risk engaging a practitioner who ‘dabbles’. Our strict adherence with the latest procedural protocol and our knowledge and application of relevant case law sets us apart from our competitors.
In commercial property, Dilapidations principally concerns the Tenant’s failure to observe certain express and implied obligations within the lease, thereby committing a breach of covenant. In general terms, this falls in to four main categories: Repair, Decoration, Reinstatement and Statutory Compliance. The 'Yield Up' clause is also key to reiterating the requirements imposed upon the Tenant elsewhere in the lease, as well as outlining further conditions to ensure the premises are handed back to the Landlord with vacant possession, and in a properly repaired, decorated, reinstated and cleansed state compliant with current regulations.
'Dilapidations' [a definition]:
...'a state of disrepair in property for
which there is a legal liability to remedy'...
