We are offering the property for lease on tenant full repairing & insuring terms for an initial period of five years. Our standard retail lease allows the tenant to serve notice to quit any time after the first year, with a minimum of three months’ notice being required.

You will be responsible for meeting all the legal costs of preparing the lease.  You will also be liable for any LBTT, Registration Dues and VAT thereon.

The property is located within an existing office and retail environment and acceptable uses are those falling within Class 1A of the Town & Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1997. Your proposed use will require the Council's consent both as landlord of the property and as Planning Authority. If your application is successful and the Council, acting as landlord, offers you a lease of the property, this does not negate your responsibility to obtain any permissions or warrants that may also be required from the Council acting separately as Planning or Building Control Authority.

You are advised to contact the local Planning and Building Standards office to discuss your proposed use and to seek advice on any planning permissions or consents that may be required.
