ASSC Partner with DM Hall to tackle EPC Regulation

Leading Scottish firm of chartered surveyors DM Hall has entered into a three-year partnering agreement with the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) to be its preferred and promoted property services and advice provider.

Founded in 1978, the ASSC is the leading source of knowledge on short-term letting and holiday homes in Scotland. The ASSC is also the only trade body representing the interests of the traditional self-catering sector. It has more than 650 Members operating in excess of 7,000 self-catering properties throughout Scotland, from city centre apartments and rural cottages to lodges, chalets, and castles.

The association commits its members to maintaining the principles of quality, integrity, cleanliness, comfort, courtesy and efficiency and to offering visitors to Scotland consistently high standards within their self-catering properties. The ASSC’s vision is to place its members at the forefront of a professional, vibrant and prosperous Scottish self-catering sector.

Mark O’Neill, Head of Energy at DM Hall, said: “Withdrawal of Government guidance on energy assessment issues, specifically related to self-catering holiday accommodation, was the catalyst for initial conversations between ASSC and DM Hall.

“Further discussions, however, led ASSC Chief Executive Fiona Campbell to conclude that ASSC members could benefit significantly from accessing DM Hall’s expert insight and knowledge across a wide range of  property issues.

“As a result, ASSC has directly recommended DM Hall to its members as its preferred and promoted property services and advice provider.”

Fiona Campbell, Chief Executive of ASSC, said: “Many of our members are already aware of DM Hall’s expertise and its presence throughout Scotland.

“With this move to appoint the firm as our preferred property services and advice provider we expect to enhance significantly our offering to ASSC members, both here in Scotland and further afield.”

DM Hall was established in 1897 and now employs over 230 people across 26 offices in Scotland.

Show your support for the Heart of Scotland Appeal

Help take on Scotland’s biggest killer

Join Leisuredays insurance in supporting charity, Heart Research UK, in their appeal to take on Scotland’s biggest killer.

Did you know, on average, 41 people a day die from cardiovascular disease?!

The charity has launched the Heart of Scotland Appeal under the banner, Raised by Scotland, Raised for Scotland  in a bid to raise and spend money on pioneering medical research to take on heart disease and help Scottish people live longer lives.

Here at Leisuredays insurance, Heart Research UK is one of our chosen charities and over the last 10 years we’ve raised more than £100,000 for the charity through our Paperless Policy initiative, and taking part in fundraising events like the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride and Great North Run. It supports our “care completely” value and we’ve also generated some positive publicity as a result.

It would be great if you could show your support in backing the Heart of Scotland appeal and help the charity raise much-needed funds to help in the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease in Scotland.

From selling pin-badges, designed by Scottish fashion designer Christopher Kane, to becoming a corporate partner like ourselves, there are lots of ways your business could help. Plus, it’s a great way to showcase your company values and you’ll be joining other partners like Aberdeen Standards Investments and Shetland Fishermen’s Association.
