Edinburgh is one of Europe's oldest cities and has an abundance of historical landmarks, breath-taking scenery, and excellent places to shop and eat.

As well as welcoming millions of tourists each year, the city has now become a major attraction for international investors. Despite political uncertainty over Brexit, foreign investment has been pouring in for the Scottish capital.

Investment in Edinburgh’s commercial property in the first quarter of 2019 totalled to around £310 million, which has completely outstripped 2018’s annual total of £284 million.

What's driving investments? "There is an almost insatiable appetite among investors for secure long-dated income and prime offices," says Alasdair Steele, Head of Commercial at Knight Frank. "Despite Brexit, Scotland is seen as providing stability at a competitive price."

So, whether you’re looking for a more flexible space, a change of location, or a new office, take a look at what’s on offer at Knight Frank.
