The roof on your home is important. This may seem like the understatement of the year, but for those of us living in Edinburgh's historic tenements, it is easy to forget your responsibility towards your roof.

The City of Edinburgh is already feeling the effects of climate change. Increasing levels of rainfall, higher wind speeds, and more extreme and unpredictable weather events pose a number of very real threats to historic buildings. Decaying stonework, mould growth, metal corrosion, and ground instability all affect a building's ability to withstand the effects of climate change, but simple steps such as clearing gutters and renewing paintwork can significantly improve the health of your property.

Familiar place names often evoke a slideshow of landmarks in the mind's eye, coupled with sensory memories of living or visiting a place.

I have sold homes in EH4 for over a decade and have always been enamoured of the area's charm and wonderful neighbourhoods with tight-knit communities. It is a diverse postcode that has hustle and bustle around Stockbridge and Dean Village and then fantastic family homes with a wee village feel around Davidson Mains, Blackhall, and Ravelston.

Before the West End was cool, it was all about the Southside, and now it's making a comeback! In 2017 Shawlands was named in the Sunday Times as one of the best places to live in Scotland, and it's popularity has gone from strength to strength since.
