The Shaw Trust
A £35,223.86 saving on a dilapidations claim for Shaw Trust
3,229 SQ FT
The Challenge
After a 5-year lease, Shaw Trust vacated their 3,229 sq ft office in Birmingham and were served a dilapidations claim of £56,223.86 by their landlord. A figure that didn’t hold up under scrutiny.
What we did
TSP reviewed the landlord’s schedule in full, identifying inflated pricing rates and several invalid items of claim. We prepared a detailed counter response and led negotiations directly with the landlord’s surveyors, challenging every line that couldn’t be justified.
The Solution
Within five months, we settled at £21,000, saving Shaw Trust £35,223.86 and reducing the original claim by 63%.
