Glasgow drive: Overseas investors flock

Overseas investors ploughed £300m into Glasgow’s office market in 2017, significantly outstripping domestic buyers during the city’s busiest 12 months for office investment since the financial crash, according to property consultancy JLL. A total of £461m was spent across 23 office deals in 2017. Ten of Glasgow’s deals last year involved international buyers, accounting for 65 per cent of 2017’s total volume “showing the prominence of global currency in the largest sales”, JLL added.
