Neil Gilbert
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 TFT Dilapidations Flowcharts are an industry first. They explain and demystify the various steps involved in a typical end-of-lease dilapidations dispute, identifying how a dilapidations liability is calculated. For the first time, complex issues such as the classification of fixtures and chattels, the reinstatement of alterations and disrepair are explained visually. The dilapidations dispute resolution process and options are also identified.We hope the TFT Dilapidations Flowcharts will become a useful industry-standard resource for both clients and other surveyors to help improve the dilapidations process. At present, partly because dilapidations disputes can be highly complicated but partly also because many who dabble in dilapidations do not know the background to the issues, dilapidations disputes can become contentious, costly and time consuming. The TFT Dilapidations Flowcharts are part of our effort to improve this area of practice.
