Property Management Services
Excellent property management can turn a good investment into a great one. Get it wrong and it can cost more than just a service charge shortfall. Voids will run right through to the capital value.
Property Management is a wide term and can extend to cover a broad range of issues. All of these can be highly technical. Effective commercial legal advice can be invaluable. Without the benefit of such advice, there are many pitfalls for the unwary.
What we do.....
At Biggart Baillie we are extremely well placed to provide clients with effective legal support in this area. We deal with these issues for clients on a daily basis:
- Rent Reviews
- Service Charge structure and disputes
- Dilapidations and Repairs
- Lease Renewals
- Applications by tenants to assign/sub-let or change use
- Keep open cases
- Forfeiture and other lease terminations
- Property re-organisations
- Recovery
Our client base includes owners / landlords of significant shopping centres, retail parks, industrial estates and offices throughout Scotland as well as some of the country’s most significant commercial occupiers of property (including a clutch of the UK’s best-known retailers). Such a superb client base requires us to have a keen understanding of the law at play in this area (keeping up with new legal developments as they occur) but also to understand the issues very clearly from the client’s perspective.
In particular, there is a frequent need for lawyers to work closely with other professionals, be they management or building surveyors, or specialist rent review surveyors. Again, we have considerable experience in working with such professionals and have developed first-rate working relationships with the leading surveying firms who provide such specialist services.
