Dilapidations & Disrepair - Thinking Tactically & Practically

Introduction

Dilapidations is a practice area which never goes away: in times of boom or bust, landlords need to maintain the value of their investment and tenants will seek to restrict the impact of their repairing obligations.

Advisors need to know how to reduce the likelihood of claims in the first place, and what is the meaning and scope of repairing obligations, as well as the choice of remedies during the term and at lease end, the conduct of claims, the impact of the pre-action protocol, and the assessment of damages.

This virtual classroom seminar will consider all these aspects in a practical way, giving a solid grounding in a practice area which is always developing and full of interest. It is aimed at both solicitors and surveyors advising either landlord or occupier, in relation to repairing obligations in commercial leases.
