Dealmaker – Steven Clarke (Shepherd Commercial)
“The Edinburgh market has remained strong throughout 2017 with strong take-up from both purchasers and tenants. The retail sector has continued to dominate 2017 deals, but our reputation across all sectors is proven with awards such as this. With a lack of stock on the market, the agency team at Shepherds continues to focus on new instructions to allow us to hit the ground running in 2018.”
