Surveyor DM Hall expands presence in Glasgow and Edinburgh
In Edinburgh, DM Hall has revamped the ground floor of its premises at 17 Corstorphine Road, while in Glasgow it was moved from 12 to 28 Bothwell Street in the heart of the city's international financial services district. According to the firm, the moves will give its 250 staff 'increased visibility and heightened profile' in the cities and represent a 'vote of confidence' in the office market as it continues its post-Covid recovery. DM Hall also said the investments will enable it to strengthen its head office and support functions. New roles are now in place in information technology, human resources, finance, business development, marketing, audit and compliance to support the firm's growth ambitions. Alan Gordon, senior partner of DM Hall, said: 'Our Edinburgh HQ has undergone a complete facelift and the relocation in Bothwell Street has created a working environment which is more conducive to the new world of hybrid working. 'As well as a more imposing frontage with new signage, the Glasgow office has been given a contemporary fit-out and improved IT, as well as a welcoming social space for staff and more appropriate facilities for private and confidential meetings with clients. 'Our people are increasingly coming back to the office, and we want to encourage staff to collaborate and exchange ideas and information with colleagues. For this, we were keen to create the best conditions for them to do so.' DM Hall's moves to enhance its presence in Glasgow and [[Edinburgh]] follows the investment of several hundred thousand pounds in its 23 offices over recent years. The firm recently moved to new premises in Perth city centre, while relocations or refurbishments have also taken place at its offices in Inverness, Hamilton, Aberdeen, Oban, Falkirk, Stirling, Prestwick, and Galashiels. There are also plans to develop the firm's offices in Carlisle and Kendal in Cumbria, which it acquired in 2023. Read more: Last year the firm opened an office in Truro, in Cornwall, where it said it has 'identified a large, untapped market and already has an increasing flow of business'. It is also exploring further opportunities in the north of England. Mr Gordon added: 'In previous years, the firm tended to be housed in traditional Victorian or Edwardian period offices, but the direction of travel now is towards more modern and spacious open plan offices, in a combination of both city centre locations and edge-of-town business parks. 'We have great pool of talent, for whom we want to create the work settings that allow them to fulfil their potential. We also have an enviable portfolio of clients for whom we are creating an environment which reinforces the firm's long-held philosophy that they come first in all our considerations. 'All our recent activity has been driven by growth, which we expect will be further catalysed by the steps we are taking to improve our business estate.'

'Acute' lack of stock holds back out-of-town retail market
Savills has revealed that Scotland accounted for 6.3% (50) of all new UK retail warehouse openings in 2024, falling below the UK regional average of 72 and its own three-year average of 67. However, Savills said demands for this kind of retail space remains strong, reflecting a broader national pattern where supply is limited to failing tenant portfolios with no new space being developed. Scotland saw 39 deals for out-of-town warehouse space in the first half, with 22 in the first quarter and 17 in quarter two. Savills found the pace had slowed as the units that had become available because of the Carpetright and Homebase administrations were quickly re-let, meaning availability dropped again. The agent forecasts that, if the level of activity remains consistent, Scotland is on track to reach around 88 new lettings by year end – a 76% increase on last year. However, this highlights the distinction between appetite for space versus what will or can be achieved on actual supply levels. Mike Spens, director in the out-of-town retail team at Savills Scotland, said: 'There remains considerable appetite from out-of-town retail operators in Scotland, however with vacancy rates falling below the UK national average, an acute lack of stock is hampering further letting activity. Read more: 'For the space that is available, we are continuing to see upward pressure on rents in certain towns, and a competitive leasing environment, which was evident in Dunfermline when Wickes' interposed lease saw a 24% increase in the passing rent. 'With the shift in focus towards affordability and convenience, the region could be well-positioned to benefit from sustained demand throughout 2025 and beyond if the issue of supply can be resolved.' Savills found that the most active operator in the last 18 months has been Home Bargains, which acquired six units. The next most active have been B&M and Sainsbury's, which have each taken three. The Range acquired two former Homebase units at Auldhouse Retail Park in Glasgow and Craigleith Retail Park in Edinburgh. Wickes opened a newly built store at Westhill on the outskirts of Aberdeen and agreed an interposed letting over the Homebase unit at Halbeath Retail Park in Dunfermline prior to its Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). The trends in Scotland largely reflect the market for the UK as a whole, with Home Bargains, B&M and Sainsbury's among the top 15 most acquisitive operators for 2024 and 2025 so far on a national basis. Sam Arrowsmith, director in the research team at Savills, said: 'Our latest research highlights a critical shortage of available retail warehouse space, with vacancy rates at a historic low. This scarcity, coupled with a strong demand for out-of-town retail locations, has led to upward pressure on rental values. The recent Poundland restructure will only see approximately 50 units returned to the sector nationally. Not enough to satisfy the appetite demonstrated in Q1 take-up.'
