Neil specialises in dilapidations, technical due diligence, and landlord and tenant advice, and he is also involved in advising retail clients. His notable recent projects include providing Thomson Reuters dilapidations consultancy in Milan, and understanding how Italian leases differ from British leases. He also provided joint landlord and tenant dilapidations advice on Northavon House, Frenchay in Bristol, demonstrating that landlords and tenants can work together to resolve dilapidations.
He has lectured on behalf of the RICS and other organisations. The wide variety of his work is reflected in the broad range of working relationships with clients including Tesco Stores Ltd, B&Q, Screwfix, Monsoon Accessorize, Core Assets, Honda Logistics, Aberdeen.
The PLA Dilapidations Protocol sets out to avoid litigation and yet three cases have recently come to court. They all test established dilapidations principles and their outcome will interest anyone involved in this area.We have produced a new TFT White Paper on the first of these, the Hammersmatch Properties v St Gobain case, which is highly interesting as it reiterates the appropriate measures and remedies for disrepair whilst focusing on the need for robust valuation advice.
