Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Perth. In Perth apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.

Consent and planning for flats
