Defending A Claim of Dilapidations

Receiving a claim of dilapidations can be shock – particularly for a small or medium sized company.  The legal intricacies of dilapidations however mean that negotiations can result in a vastly improved settlement from the initial claim.

Unfortunately, some firms do not possess the skills or experience in dilapidation matters.  As a result, landlords are ill advised and ‘inflated claims’ are made.  Corporate Building Consultancy are specialists in this complex area of law.  We are able to assess the validity of a claim and objectively advise on a ‘reasonable’ settlement figure.  When it comes to negotiations we prepare a strong and robust defence which more often than not results in a significant reduction in the claim.

Corporate Building Consultancy advise national organisations across the UK on dilapidation matters.  Being based in Somerset however most of our clients are located in the Exeter, Bridgwater, Taunton, Bristol, Bath and Yeovil areas.
