One of the things I first noticed when I started working Hawick was the undulating and interesting “skyline” of properties, including renovated mills, and residential properties which were once commercial premises and tenement blocks. The responsibility of roofs, dormer windows and shared drying greens are often unclear and, in some cases, not even defined in title deeds.
At Bannerman Burke, we are happy to assist you with any title queries you have and give you peace of mind that you are not paying more than you should be for any shared costs.
I recently had the pleasure of attending a Business Breakfast at the High School which was organised by the Developing the Young Workforce in the Borders group. I was pleased to hear that young people in Hawick are being supported and encouraged in their endeavours to set up their own business.
Anyone considering setting up a new business from an existing commercial premise would
benefit from having a commercial lease in place, to give them greater security and clarity on their obligations as a tenant.
At Bannerman Burke we regularly draft commercial leases for landlords and tenants. We are happy to assist, new or existing clients, should they require a commercial lease to be drawn up.
