The outlook for commercial property in Scotland is a "positive" one when compared to regions just south of the border, it has been suggested.
According to Steve Georgiou, director of Property Executive, commercial property in the north of England has a much "gloomier face" than in Scotland.
He points out that while the residential market is Scotland, like the rest of the UK, is "struggling", commercial property developers remain "positive" about the future.
As for commercial property across the UK as a whole, in comparison to residential property, Mr Georgiou insisted: "Commercial is the way at the moment, without a shadow of a doubt there's more of a positive outlook."
Earlier this year, Halifax reported that the biggest property price increases in the UK last year were seen in Scotland.
Prices rose by 13.1 per cent in 2007 compared to the UK average of 5.2 per cent, the building society's data revealed.
