520			_aQBD 26 February 1990. Action by C for damages for breach of covenant by S in failing to leave premises in good repair on termination of lease.

S accepted that the building was in a shocking state of repair and both parties accepted during the trial that the cost of repair was £175,000. Later the premises were sold in their dilapidated condition for £320,000 and resold again for a higher figure without any repairs being undertaken. S argued firstly that under Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 s18(1) structural alterations after termination of the tenancy would value the repairs worthless and that no value could be attributed for a good state of repair and the only approximate valuation would be a residual site valuation.
