Law Society sale bids all in

THERE have been several offers for the Law Society of Scotland’s offices in Drumsheugh Gardens, one of the largest of traditional townhouse accommodations in central Edinburgh.

With the closing date passed, Jones Lang LaSalle was saying nothing. Offers over £5.5 million had been expected, but there were late doubts about this being reached.

The Law Society is looking through all the terms and conditions of the bids before making a decision.

A spokesperson said the site of its new HQ is dependent on the sale. “We have a target building in mind, and the undertaking given to the staff from the senior management team is that the move would be to a building within the Edinburgh area.”
