Fairdeal Autos, the largest independent garage in West Lothian, has opened a new branch in Edinburgh.

Located at 1 Fords Road in West Edinburgh, the business has signed a 10 year lease with landlord JB Mackenzie Holdings Ltd for 4,731 sq ft of space in Edinburgh at a rate of £6 per sq ft. The new branch adds to the firm’s existing base in Bathgate which was set up in 1995.

The new branch provides the business with a strategic location between the City Centre and the A720 Edinburgh City By-pass, offering excellent access to all parts of Edinburgh. Surrounding commercial occupiers include a mix of office, retailers and trade operators, notably Lothian Joint Valuation Board, Lothian Primary Care NHS, Wolfson Micro-electronics, HSS Hire, Kwik Fit, Arnold Clark and Sainsbury’s.

Craig Watson, Associate Director for Jones Lang LaSalle’s Office Agency team in Scotland, commented: "Fairdeal Autos first expressed an interest extremely quickly following the expiry of the previous tenant’s lease. In Edinburgh there is very little available industrial stock of this size especially with a secure yard which helped us capture a tenant quickly on favourable terms. Market demand remains focused on smaller units in good locations."
