A question over pay as you go - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0117) 28 April 2001, 216-217(2) .

Recent case law illustrates how landlords and tenants must give considerable thought to dilapidation claims at the termination of a lease. Discusses the cases of "Craven (Building) Ltd v SoS Health" and "Firle Investments Ltd v Datapoint International Ltd" which raise the following key points: diminution in value is linked to the real market for the premises; a landlord's intentions at the termination of the lease must be determined; the needs of a hypothetical buyer and transaction have to be considered.
