If you are a tenant or landlord of commercial property, then you may be faced with a situation where the property is being put in a dilapidated state. The state of commercial premises may be important to an individual or company at different times including when a lease is granted, when you are acquiring a leasehold or freehold investment, when setting up a business or upon departure from leased premises when a Schedule of Dilapidations is served.
Questions which are often asked are:
- What am I responsible for repairing?
- What damages will I receive if there has been disrepair during my occupation?
- Who should do the remedial works to the premises and who will be responsible for the costs of such works?
- What should I do if the landlord or tenant has failed in his duties to repair?
If these are the sorts of questions which you are asking yourself, contact us and we will put your mind at rest.
