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

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

The property is located within an existing retail area and 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 & Building Standards office to discuss your proposed use and to seek advice on any planning permissions or other consents that may be required.

Since 1 April 2008, all businesses, public sector, charitable and not-for-profit organisations in Scotland have been able to choose who supplies their water, waste and drainage services.

The property's Rateable Value is under review, as the area has been made into smaller units.

The 2025/26 Annual Business Rate is 49.8p.   Currently, you don’t have to pay Non Domestic Rates if the total rateable value of all the properties you own or lease is less than £12,000 but this threshold may change in future.  Further detail can be found here (external link) (external link).

Any queries regarding the Rateable Value should be pursued with the Assessor to the Highlands & Islands Joint Board.
