In short: Glasgow is Scotland's largest commercial market, with offices in the city centre and International Financial Services District, retail on Buchanan, Sauchiehall and Argyle streets, and industrial estates along the M8. Scottish commercial leases follow Scots law, so there is no Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 security of tenure; leases can continue by "tacit relocation" unless notice is given. Non-domestic rates are set by Scottish assessors, and Land and Buildings Transaction Tax applies instead of stamp duty. Fraser Bond is London-based and can help you compare terms.
