To confirm we are open as usual whilst our building work is ongoing. We have all of our normal range in stock just in a smaller space at the moment. Apologies for for this but after at least 185 years the building is showing it's age.

A further update regarding the abandoned flat and scaffolding.

I have today sent an email to building control to ask them to work with me, if possible by giving me any contact details they have for the property owner. I await their reply.

If contact cannot be made I will be shortly instructing my solicitor to start the process of forfeiting the lease. This may take some time but will ultimately bring the property into my control and repairs and refurbishment can then begin.

I remain optimistic that this can be achieved and with the assistance of DCC building control the scaffolding can be removed and the property improved so as to provide a good residential space.

20/03/2026

Just following on from last night's meeting.

I have done some further research and although the reverse lease agreements are complex between myself and the missing owner of the flat it would appear that I have right of access in order to undertake repairs.

I will be asking the Council for any contact details they have so that I can inform the owner of this and make an offer to purchase. If contact cannot be made minimum repairs will be undertaken.

At that point I will ask the scaffolding company to remove their property.

There are some legal challenges involved with this and discussions with DDC building control are likely to be challenging so it may still be sometime before the work can be completed.

We are open in a limited capacity as forensics haven’t been out yet. Please come to the counter and we will help you as much as possible. Apologies again for this, hopefully all back to normal tomorrow.
