Dilapidation Claims

A dilapidation claim normally starts when a landlord serves a written schedule of dilapidations on a tenant. In the schedule, the landlord will claim from the tenant the cost of carrying out works such as decoration, maintenance and repair to the property.

Dilapidation claims may have serious financial implications for both landlords and tenants. Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, we can advise you on the best tactical and commercial approach towards dealing with disputes.

We approached Stephen Scown’s property litigation team in relation to a dispute with our landlord and the matter was handled by Mark Richardson. His advice was prompt, to the point and spot on. Mark gave us the ammo we needed to challenge our landlord and saved us thousands of pounds in management fees that we had been charged but were not legally obliged to pay. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark and his team.
