Commercial Property in Scotland

Thorntons specialist Commercial Property team can provide due diligence reports on Scottish property in either long full form or on the basis of a flag system to highlight key issues. We can also revise standard property warranties and provide Scottish Property warranties as appropriate.

We buy and sell all types of property in all areas of Scotland, from the Borders and Central Belt to the Highlands. Given our in-depth market knowledge and experience, we know the potential issues and challenges that can arise from a local and Scottish perspective. We have always been happy to explain to our English and overseas-based clients and solicitors Scots Property law, the nuances of Scotland’s system and the differences to their usual expectations.

Scottish law on Landlord and Tenant is not statute based and so all leases are negotiated. However, this also means that reports on the terms of a lease are complete in that there is little additional statutory provisions you need to be aware of. Here at Thorntons, we are used to negotiating leases of all terms and sizes, and providing reports on a lease in an easy-to-understand format.
