Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you confirm whether Mountgrange have continued to pay the costs
on the 8 empty properties on the Canongate? When they have agreed
to pay the costs until? Is this contract/agreement time barred (and
if so until when) or without limit? Are Mountgrange in rent
arrears?

Yours faithfully,

Catriona Grant
