WELCOME TO HOLDENS

What Are Dilapidations?

Dilapidations relate to breaches of lease covenants concerning repair, decoration and reinstatement.

They commonly arise:

  • During the term of a lease

  • At lease expiry

  • Following service of a break notice

  • When a landlord prepares a formal claim

  • When a tenant wishes to assess potential liability

Understanding the extent of repairing obligations within a Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) lease is critical before negotiations begin.

We prepare and assess interim schedules, advising on liability, scope of works and potential cost exposure.
