Private Sector Landlords
We have noticed a growth in the buy to let housing market recently and have been advised by the Private Landlord Registration section at Glasgow City Council of a number of changes including new fees from 1st April 2021.
Property Condition and Tenancy Management Mandatory Requirements
At the commencement of a tenancy and throughout the period of any tenancy, your property must meet certain physical standards and the management of the tenancy must also meet acceptable standards.
If you are a Landlord please click on the easy to read guide – Registration Requirements to ensure you are meeting the required standards. It should be noted that the responsibilities placed on landlords have not been suspended by the Scottish Government. Landlords must therefore continue to take steps to maintain their properties to meet acceptable standards and ensure the tenancy is properly managed.
Landlord Registration Fees increase from 01 April 2021 To find out the new fees click the following Link to new rates Landlord Registration Fees

The Flanagan & Co office is located at 357 Dumbarton Road, Partick, Glasgow G11 6AL just around the corner from Partick Subway and Morrisons. Our office is across the road from the TSB and Santander Banks and between Monzo Cafe and the Down to Earth cafe.
Flanagan & Co were instructed to act for 3 members of the Indycamp at the Court of Session on 29th June 2016 before Lord Turnbull with Brodies LLP acting for the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body. Our clients wish to hold a continuous Vigil on the grounds of the Scottish Parliament until Scotland gains its independence. Our argument put forward by Jamie Gardiner Advocate was that an eviction would be disproportionate in terms of our clients Article 10 and 11 ECHR rights. Lord Turnbull’s decision ruled against the Camp but complimented us on our preresentation and legal arguments.
