The meaning of “repair” – an “ordinary English word” – is not straightforward but is central to both repairing obligations and service charge recoverability. This practical session looks at:
- What does “repair” really mean, and why does that matter?
- How it can limit a commercial tenant’s obligation to repair and to a landlord’s ability to recover service charges;
- Why the age of both lease and building and the changing needs of the property market might change the definition of “repair”
- Statutory restrictions: the impact on costs and works
- Sweeper clauses – a universal panacea or not? 89 Holland Park Management Ltd v Dell, Triplark Ltd v Whale, Tower Hamlets v Brewster House
