9 April 2020 - Over the last three weeks we have all had to adapt the way we work on a day to day basis due to the Coronavirus outbreak and the movement restrictions placed on our daily lives. We have continued to support Clients whenever possible, although based remotely from our Glasgow office, using all remote applications available to us, including video calls etc. 

Whist at this point in time we are not travelling to sites and properties all over Scotland as we normally would we are still very much open for business and we are able to support all clients across a range of services.  To discuss how we can help you please get in touch.

3 March 2020 - February was one of the wettest winter months we have experienced for a number of years. When heavy rainfall is coupled with high winds, think Storm Ciara and Denis,  many buildings can suffer water ingress. Now that things have calmed down its well worth checking over your property to make sure everything is as it should be. A small intervention now could save you money in the long term!

MEES Or Not To MEES

MEES – a new acronym for Landlords to be concerned about (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards). Fortunately, the scheme applies to England and Wales only, and is not applicable in Scotland. In England and Wales it is now no longer permissible to let properties with an F & G Energy Performance Certificate rating, without carrying out improvements to the energy efficiency of the property. In Scotland we have the Non Domestic equivalent in the shape of the Section 63 Regulations, which at this time, only apply to properties in excess of 1,000sqm (10,750sqft). 

If you have any questions regarding energy efficiency, please contact William Mair.
