Whether tenant or landlord, it is important to seek advice from specialists before signing a commercial lease to prevent any issues later down the line.
Dilapidations refer to the condition of the property being leased, either during its occupancy or when the lease ends. Under a lease agreement, the occupier is usually required to keep the property well maintained, getting repair work performed when needed.
If the occupier does not stick to this agreement, and areas of the building become damaged (also known as dilapidated), then this can constitute a breach of the lease and the landlord will be able to serve a terminal schedule of works to be done at the end of the lease to set out the proposed costs and work needed to fix the damage.
Before a lease is signed, it is worthwhile to get a professional assessment of the condition of the property in order to make sure it matches the description. This can prevent any legal claim for repairs that existed before documents were signed.
