Case Study🤩 See how we helped Oakfield Business Centre 👇🏽 We were instructed by a former tenant to defend a dilapidations claim on their c.5,500 sq ft hybrid office/workshop. The building was vacated with dilapidations but it also had very dated specifications as it was in need of modernisation/upgrades. The Landlord served their Terminal Schedule of Dilapidations Claim (a report that provides a precise breakdown of repairs that must be scheduled to reinstate a property to its original condition as stated in the lease agreement) at a total sum of £202,500. The landlord ‘did the works’ so were confident in securing their reduced claim at £170,000 (once recognised improvement costs were removed). Our combined application of both the Building Surveyor on costings (which limited impact once the Landlord had done the work) and the Valuer of nuanced Diminution Valuation/Section 18 arguments. A settlement (all-inclusive) was reached at £67,000. #CaseStudy #Tenant #DilapidationsClaim

What is stratum or volumetric subdivision? It is used for almost all mixed-use development now. It is not strata. Stratum subdivision is the subdivision of land and/or buildings into separate parcels under the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW). For example: 1) the podium of a tower (tower 1) might be retail, and owned by the developer or by an investment trust; 2) levels 1-10 of the tower might be commercial office space owned by an investor and leased to businesses; 3) levels 11-30 might be apartments created by the registration of a strata plan; there will be common property and an owners corporation for that section alone; 4) an adjoining tower (tower 2), that shares an underground car park with tower 1, might be owned by a community housing provider. Stratum subdivision does not have common property like a strata scheme. It has 'shared facilities'. This is space or facilities that are on the land title for one owner but are used by other owners. Everyone has to pay for it. That is achieved through a building/strata management statement. This is not part of the strata legislation. It is a document, drafted by the developer's lawyer, that allocates costs and management rules. It is recorded on the Torrens register. Ideally those costs should be fair, but they may not be. There will also be a building management committee (BMC). In this example, it will have 4 members, including the strata OC. Like the BMS/SMS, and unlike a strata owners corporation, it is largely unregulated by legislation. If you would like to know more, please DM for seminars. #strata #stratum #mixeduse #development #highdensity #TODs #planning #infrastructure #sydney

Neil Stafford's latest article sheds light on a fundamental aspect of leasing agreements—the extent of demise granted by the lease. It's important for both landlords and tenants/buyers to approach this matter seriously to avoid unforeseen complications. Failure to carefully evaluate the true scope of the premises/equipment being leased/sold can lead to significant issues, impacting the tenant's repairing obligations and rights. Using a standard lease of an office block floor as a case study, he examines what may be encompassed or excluded in the demise. https://bit.ly/4axzJkv

What is Right of Light? Right of Light is a legal entitlement that allows property owners to receive adequate natural light through defined openings, such as windows. This right ensures that new developments don't significantly obstruct light to existing buildings. Why is Right of Light Important? - Property Value: Adequate natural light increases property value and desirability. - Living Quality: Natural light improves the well-being and comfort of occupants. - Legal Protection: Protects property owners from excessive overshadowing by new developments. How it Works: - Established by Law: If a window has received natural light for at least 20 years, the property owner may gain a Right of Light. - Assessment: Specialists measure light levels to determine if the right has been infringed. - Resolution: Disputes can be resolved through negotiation, compensation, or legal action. Benefits of Right of Light: - Protection: Ensures that existing properties maintain their light levels. - Balance: Helps balance the interests of existing property owners and new developers. - Well-being: Promotes healthier living environments by preserving natural light access. Example: A homeowner's windows have received natural light for over 20 years. A new neighbouring development threatens to block this light. The homeowner can invoke their Right of Light to negotiate changes to the development plans or seek compensation. Right of Light is a crucial legal protection for property owners, ensuring that new developments do not unduly compromise the natural light received by existing buildings. Understanding this right helps maintain property value and enhances the quality of living spaces. #proppytics #BMV #development#dealsourcing #propertyflip #renovation #refurb #finance#refinance #analysis #dealanalysis #proptech #realestate#ukproperty #newbuild #buytolet #RightofLight #planning#bridgingloan #bridgefinance #jointventure #equity#construction #budget #yield #propertyinvestment #Property #valuation #RealEstate #PropertyDevelopment

Valuations provide peace of mind and ensure: - Cover for building materials and trade skills: Construction costs can quickly outpace inflation, risking underinsurance. - Consideration for bespoke design features: Unique elements significantly impact rebuilding costs. - Inclusion of professional fees: From demolition to landscaping, every detail counts in determining replacement costs. - Compliance with current building codes: Staying up-to-date with regulations is crucial for all constructions, regardless of their age.

The IRR team is skilled at working with landlords, tenants, contractors, architects, and engineers to bring out creative solutions that secure tenancy for the building owner and offer accommodations to suit the needs of tenants for the long-term, and maintain the integrity of the structure itself.
