Commercial | Dilapidation Advice

Dilapidations Office Building Nottingham

Project Break Down

Challenge: Our client was exiting a commercial lease and had been served a schedule of dilapidations by their Landlord. Cardoe Martin were instructed to review the claim and advise on any means to reduce the claim or opportunities to negotiate.

Solution: Working closely with the property managers, we were able to advise on easy opportunities to address items within the claim at minimal cost, offering significant initial savings off the claim. Following the end of the lease, we negotiated with the landlords surveyors and achieved a large further saving of the items claimed and reached a swift settlement agreement which successfully discharged all of our clients liability.
