Stoke-on-Trent
Instructions were received to represent the former tenant, defending against the Schedule of Dilapidations served by their landlord on their premises at Stoke on Trent.
The Landlord’s common law claim was £2.5 million.
Our common law response (excluding Section 18 (1)) was at £1.2-£1.5 million.
Our Section 18 (1) focused on:
- Likelihood that the subject property would be redeveloped in the medium-long term
- Therefore, it would have an impact on the likely works required
- Reinstatement works will be value affective for both short term letting and subsequent redevelopment
- Works to offices (carpets/redecoration), along with external works to the roof and guttering, are also required
Our unique combined use of both required disciplines of Chartered Building Surveyors and Chartered Valuation Surveyors, secured a settlement of £850,000, a substantial saving from the Landlord’s original Claim.
The client confirmed:
“Many thanks for your assistance in this matter and thankfully this will bring this matter to a conclusion. Great result!”
