Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last month you will have noticed an above average amount of gentlemen sporting moustaches. Certainly, that’s what we’ve noticed in our offices. November is the month of the moustache and raising money for men’s health. Our chaps and chapesses wholeheartedly embraced Movember this year. Whilst none…
On 8 December 2014 the legal process by which we buy and sell property in Scotland will be shaken-up by the coming-into force of the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 (after this, ‘the Act’). Conveyancing is seen as a bit of a stuffy, old-fashioned process, so a shake-up is surely a good thing, isn’t…
