Scots-Norwegian property agency link

ABERDEEN-BASED FG Burnett has formed an alliance with SR-Commercial Property in Norway.

It will target many Aberdeen-based oil, gas and energy businesses which have associated or subsidiary companies operating in Norway. SR-Commercial Property is a division of a leading Norwegian bank, Sparebank 1 SR-Bank, and incorporates real estate agency Vgen Eiendomsmegling and Eiendomsmegler 1 Naering.

The alliance will support FG Burnett clients with property requirements in Norway and work in the same way for SR-Commercial Property's clients with interests in Scotland.

Angus MacCuish, FG Burnett managing director, said: "In addition to sourcing operational premises, both companies will be able to advise on potential investment opportunities in our home countries. We believe this is a unique tie-up between two leading companies in the Scottish and Norwegian commercial property sectors."

SR-Commercial Property spokeswoman, Marit Cecilie Albretsen, said: "Aberdeen and Stavanger have long been known as the oil capitals of their respective countries and an alliance between commercial property companies in our cities is long overdue."
