FG Burnett - Offices Letting - Glasgow

Date: 08 Aug 2008

Property consultant FG Burnett has relocated to larger new premises in Glasgow as part of a drive to grow the business.

The move to Queens House in St Vincent Place, demonstrates the commercial property experts commitment to serving existing customers and securing new business in the Central Belt.

The company say the office move and the appointment of surveyor Paul Sinclair to their Building Consultancy team underlines their confidence in the commercial property sector.

Angus MacCuish, FG Burnett managing director, said his company were focussed on building up their client base in central Scotland to mirror the strong position the firm enjoys in the north of Scotland.

Mr MacCuish said: "We are adding to our very experienced team in Glasgow and have secured these larger new premises because we believe there is a genuine need in the property services market for our highly personal service.

"This investment has a dual purpose and will benefit not only potential customers in and around Glasgow but also existing clients in Aberdeen and the north.

"If a company based in the north is considering opening for business for the first time in the Central Belt or possibly expanding their current operations it will be comforting that they can depend on a well established and respected consultancy to assist with their property requirements.

"The appointment of surveyor Paul Sinclair to assist director Bob Scott extends the capabilities of our Building Consultancy team and is part of our overall strategy of investing in youth and building for the future."

The Queens House sixth floor office suite extends to 1400 sq ft and the lease is for a 10 year term with a current passing rent of £16,800 per annum.

Founded in 1960, FG Burnett is now the largest firm of chartered surveyors and property consultants based in Aberdeen. Working with their five strong Glasgow based team, the company provides Scotland-wide coverage on a range of services including sales, lettings and acquisitions, building surveying, property management, rent reviews and commercial valuation and compensation.

Mr MacCuish added: "Expanding our services and adding to our staff in Glasgow positions us for growth and reinforces our board's commitment to the future of the business by extending our presence in the Central Belt."
