The first article in a three part series on dilapidations examines the principles behind dilapidations claims and what surveyors should be aware of when assessing loss. With reference to relevant case law, looks at the guiding principle on loss (restitutio in integrum/restoration to original condition), the landlord's intentions, the reasonableness of the claim, and the question of proportionality. (See also L140961).
