Fun evening at the Accessible Retail Quiz Night!
Despite a strong team of Robert Farmer, Ben Crossfield, Abigail Cacia,Emily Nelson and Simon Meacock it was mid-table mediocrity. It’s not the winning etc etc…Maybe next year. Great fun though.
The EYCO team have had a blast attending UKREiiF and exploring the beautiful city of Leeds!
It has been a fantastic opportunity to meet with new and existing connections to discuss the future of commercial property in Scotland and across the UK…helped of course by the sunshine…and rounding it off with a stunning meal at The Ivy Asia
If we didn’t manage to see you this time, please get in touch!
Looking forward to next year!

We’re delighted that Callum has been promoted to Associate Partner. Congratulations.
We are excited to welcome Peter Fraser to EYCO as a partner in the business space team.
Following 11 successful years heading up Avison Young’s Edinburgh agency team, Peter found the chance to work at EYCO too good to turn down. He can’t wait to get going with the rest of the team, Neil McConnachie, Neil Gordon and Amy Matteo.
If anyone is looking for agency or general property advice then he would be delighted to hear from you on pfraser@eyco.co.uk – while his mobile remains the same – 07702 759 149.
Congratulations to Ruari on successfully passing his APC and becoming our latest fully qualified surveyor. We are all delighted that all of his hard work has paid off and we are looking forward to seeing him develop at EYCO in the years to come.

Ian Whelan, Managing Partner commented “We’re proud to be able to grow our relationship with British Land with these new appointments, which are in addition to existing instructions at Fort Kinnaird Shopping Centre, Edinburgh and Glasgow Fort. These are major retail assets and the appointments will allow us to better advise our client across their Scottish holdings”.

Retail, Hospitality & Leisure (RHL) in England are to get a permanent business rates reduction. Good news for most, but certainly not for everyone.
Before the election, the property headlines suggested that Labour would abolish business rates (although they didn’t actually say that). Labour haven’t done that, but RHL properties in England with a rateable value less than £500,000, are now promised a permanent discount on their non-domestic rates multiplier (from 2026/27) BUT to be paid for by a higher rates charge for properties with rateable values >£500,000. In the interim there will also be 40% relief for RHL properties in 2025/26, subject to a cap of £110,000 per business.
Whilst the Government narrative is that the distribution giants will be supplementing the High Street with higher rates contributions, the threshold of RV £500,000 will capture many supermarkets, retail park occupiers and high-end / large retail.
There will be consequential funding for Scotland, but previously the Scottish Government have failed to pass on any of the additional NDR reliefs awarded in England, particularly for the hospitality sector. The Scottish Government already have plans for a Supermarket rates levy so any suggestion of a further business rates multiplier supplement will be a concern. If the Scottish Government fail to pass this policy on, it will only create a wider divide and sense of unfairness amongst RHL occupiers .
