We're Southside Tenement Specialists

If you’re buying or selling property in some of Glasgow’s most sought-after neighbourhoods—such as Shawlands, Strathbungo, Pollokshields, Mount Florida, or Battlefield—you’re likely to encounter tenement flats. These iconic buildings are rich in character but can come with a complex legal framework.

With our help, you can buy or sell with confidence, knowing each detail has been meticulously reviewed.

Tenement Legal Considerations

When buying or selling tenement flats in the Southside, key legal aspects that need expert attention include:

  • Shared Areas Staircases, back courts, gardens, attics, and basements are often shared. We help clarify ownership and responsibility for maintenance.
  • Factoring Arrangements Factoring and management company disputes can arise, and we ensure such agreements are viable.
  • Insurance and Repairs Understanding responsibility for shared repairs and verifying insurance requirements is crucial.
  • Tenement Burdens Burdens outlined in your title deeds must be reviewed for compliance with the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003.
