What Are Office Dilapidations?
Office dilapidations involve restoring leased office accommodation to the condition required under a commercial lease agreement.
During a tenancy, businesses often alter office layouts to suit operational needs. These alterations commonly include new meeting rooms, kitchens, partition walls, flooring, lighting and data infrastructure.
At the end of a lease, these installations frequently need to be removed and the office reinstated before it is handed back to the landlord.
