Dilapidations have long stood at the crossroads between law, valuation, and building practice — but the real question remains: are we pricing cost, or are we chasing value? This talk will look at the following:
- Appreciating the key mission of the yielding up clause
- Interpreting key lease words – decoration, disrepair, defect and dilapidation
- Determining the boundaries of the dilapidations’ liability
- Explaining whether the liability can cover replacement and improvement
- Handling over exaggerated demands
- Appraising some recent issues in court cases
- Reviewing the dispute arena and expert witness role in relation to dilapidations
- Contrasting the way courts in the UK determine liability
