Business is buoyant.
English companies are moving north and Scottish organisations are heading south. But it is essential that those on the move are aware of the fact that legislation is not transportable, a particularly relevant point when renting commercial property. While a lease in Glasgow may bear a striking resemblance to another in London, those failing to recognise fundamental differences in the laws of the two countries risk dire consequences. The landlord and tenant legislation applying in England is not relevant in Scotland, where there is little legislation to override the terms of a lease. Consequentially, commercial property tenants in Scotland do not enjoy the same ''security of tenure'' as those in England.
