Coronavirus – Advice for flats and tenements

Under One Roof Scotland, a website that offers homeowners in Scotland impartial and independent information on communal living and the benefits of proactive maintenance, has recently published some very useful guidance on steps that flat homeowners should be considering during the coronavirus pandemic.

This guidance includes advice on some of the following subjects: –

  • Specific Coronavirus guidance for flat dwellers
  • Close cleaning and disinfection
  • Where does your home stop and start if you are a flat dweller?
  • Garden etiquette and house rules
  • Emergency repairs
  • Struggling to pay factor’s bills?

We believe that this is a very informative article, which provides both useful and practical advice for flat homeowners. We would therefore strongly recommend that you take the time to read the article which can be found here.

At Hacking and Paterson Management Services our teams continue to assist our homeowner customers during these difficult times, arranging for the communal maintenance and servicing of your property, where circumstance allows, and with all contractors instructed to do so, only when complying with the Government’s recommendations.

If you do require any further assistance at this time, then please do not hesitate to contact us by email and someone will get back to you.
