Did
you know that you can contest dilapidations claims at the end of your
lease? Although occupiers must deal with the costs of leaving their space as they found it, the bill posed by some landlords for not doing so can be excessive. How can you ensure that your landlord doesn't make expensive and unreasonable demands when you least need it - when you're about to move? NB Real Estate recently reduced the settlement of a landlord's claim for dilapidations by 63%. The client was a large corporate client who is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. So why take an unnecessary risk with your dilapidations bill? Contact me to get practical advice and solutions to cut the cost of moving.

Did you know? NB carefully dissected each line of a claim against a large corporate client, uncovering unsubstantiated and over priced charges. The landlord had issued a claim approaching half a million pounds, which NB was able to settle at a little over £150,000! Careful analysis of each item allowed NB to uncover ways for the tenant to reduce the charges. For example, the landlord removed the tenant's fixtures and fittings and claimed £71,000 for doing so. NB successfully fought the claim and the charge was actually reduced to £28,000. Similarly, there was a request for £18,000 worth of window repairs, but this was reduced to £5,000. Nearing the end of your lease? Get in touch with NB , and we'll be sure to be able to help.  |

Save thousands on your dilapidations
liability All claims must be "fair and reasonable" based on the Civil Procedure Rules, but some unscrupulous landlords will maximise their claims since many unrepresented tenants are unlikely to contest them. You should always ask a building surveyor to examine the schedule of dilapidations issued by your landlord in order to avoid unreasonable claims. |
