We can offer quality advice on acquisitions and disposals, asset management, Deeds of Variation, freehold and leasehold conveyances amongst other things. We can act for you whether you are an owner, occupier, investor or property developer. We can provide advice on commercial mortgages and property transactions in respect of businesses such as shops, warehouses, factories, offices, restaurants and Take-away outlets.
At McSherry Halliday we aim to make the law more transparent for our clients. We will utilise our extensive experience to advise you on the legislation, so you are aware of any implications of your sale or purchase and can choose the optimum approach in your circumstances. We will assist you from the beginning of the transaction, and can negotiate on the Head of Terms for any commercial lease. We will liase efficiently with the solicitor on the other side to ensure there are no unnecessary delays to your transaction. We will carry out the necessary searches which may be required. We can also assist with finance and security considerations; can address any development and planning issues and provide advice on the extension or renewal of an existing lease. Once the lease is signed we can arrange for the formal document to be registered at the Books of Council and Session.
commercial property & divorce
In Scotland there is one ground for divorce of married couples, namely where the marriage has broken down irretrievably. This can be demonstrated by showing that the parties have not lived together as a married couple for more than two years, or one year if both parties consent to the divorce. Alternatively the marriage can be shown to have broken down irretrievably if there is adultery or if unreasonable behavior can be shown. Unreasonable behavior could be, for example, violent or abusive behavior of either a physical or mental nature. It is fair to say that these latter grounds are used less frequently now that the periods for non-cohabitation have been reduced.
