Building Defects

Defects in buildings can be more that an inconvenience to the occupier and can affect the efficient operation of a company. Occupiers often live with defects over many years that can be resolved by investigation and effective remedial works. Some defects can be readily identified by a trained eye whist others may require investigation or monitoring before a conclusion is reached.

Advice on the cause of a defect and remedial works should consider whether action is available under any warranties or guarantees and, where properties are occupied on a leasehold basis regard must be given to the liabilities of the landlord and tenant.
