Dilapidations the good, the bad and the ugly: how to minimise your liability
Brands and retailers are reinventing themselves and thinking about how they can best serve their neighbourhoods and communities. Many are rebalancing their store portfolios and re evaluating their space requirements. This has resulted in retailers planning for and dealing with exit strategies and dilapidations claims at the end of their leases.
In our latest Retail Reboot roundtable webinar, we will be looking at the key dilapidations issues that need to be considered when moving out of commercial properties.
Our experts will look at how retailers can prepare for and respond to dilapidations claims and to minimise repair costs through the often overlooked Diminution Valuations and the Statutory Cap. The session will also cover how accounting for dilapidations impacts corporation tax liability (under FRS102).
