East Lothian is witnessing a boom in residential property building with new housing across the region including a new community at Blindwells, north of Tranent, where work has started on the first of 1,600 homes, plus a supermarket and school.
But Iain Mercer, director of Allied Surveyors Scotland, believes that the region is fertile ground for commercial property too.
He says: “If you look at the knock-on effect from a rise in population, there are parts of East Lothian which are doing very well in terms of commercial property. “Haddington is expanding rapidly with a huge amount of housing developments; there is significant commercial activity surrounding that.
