Why do prices differ in Glasgow?
Scottish labour rates sit a little below the national average overall, but Edinburgh and central Glasgow price close to the UK middle — and Scottish compliance rules differ in places, which changes what the job includes.
Glasgow has the UK's largest tenement stock — red and blonde sandstone closes with shared stairs and common services. Factors (property managers) control access to common areas, and sandstone walls make chasing and external work slower than brick; flat sizes, though, are generous and layouts consistent.
