Simon Matley is Head of Dilapidations at TFT, bringing more than 25 years' experience in the commercial property market covering dilapidations, occupier fit-out, refurbishment and new build projects.
Simon’s recent career highlights include project managing the Professional Footballers’ Association office fit out in Manchester, which included a lecture theatre, podcast studio, and an LED screen tunnel right through the middle of an office!
Based in Manchester, Simon leads up our team of dilapidations specialists across the UK, helping landlords and occupiers manage their commercial properties with minimal risk.
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.
