Mortgaging a Scottish Tenement Flat

Tenement flats are common in Scottish cities and have shared responsibilities for the building's upkeep. These affect a mortgage and your ongoing costs.

Shared repairs

Tenement owners typically share responsibility for common repairs to the roof, stairwell and structure. Lenders and valuers consider the building's condition and any outstanding common repairs.

Scotland's conveyancing and property law differ from the rest of the UK.

What to check

Establish the arrangements for shared repairs and any known major works, and factor potential contributions into your budget. Your solicitor will review the title.

General mortgage information, not a personal recommendation. Lender criteria and scheme rules can change. Ask an adviser about your circumstances and a solicitor or tax adviser about legal or tax questions. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Most buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the FCA.
