📝 Training Fridays at Taylor & Martin! 💡 Today, our team from both Glasgow and Edinburgh came together for our weekly training session. We focused on the intricacies of Development Management Schemes (DMS) and explored the key differences between DMS and Deeds of Conditions—a topic critical for enhancing the support we provide to our clients. We were fortunate to be joined by Kathryn Black from Harper Macleod LLP, who guided us through the subject with her expert insights and answered questions from the team. These collaborative learning days not only boost our knowledge but also strengthen our commitment to serving our clients with confidence and clarity. #TrainingFriday #TeamDevelopment #PropertyManagement #PropertyFactors
