ABSTRACT
The nature of dilapidations claims is complex, with specialist professional advice crucial to achieve the correct settlement. On all but the simplest or smallest of disputes, the landlord and tenant should consider obtaining advice from suitably experienced professionals. Disputes where the “dilapidations team” functions as a cohesive and communicative unit will tend to produce fairer and quicker settlements, which is the ultimate goal of most parties involved in such a dispute, particularly the paying landlord or tenant client.
