Hamilton Osborne King has recently let 4,500 sq ft of accommodation at Templeton House on the Holywood Road in east Belfast to UK financial consultants, Inter Alliance plc. Ian Duddy, of Hamilton Osborne King, who acted on behalf of AXA Sun Life, says key factors influencing Inter Alliance's choice of new premises were demand for high quality accommodation in addition to on-site car parking - which is becoming an increasingly important priority for occupiers.

Solicitors' firm Johns Elliott recently acquired more than 7,500 sq ft of third floor office accommodation at 40 Linenhall Street, an impressive Victorian building that has been let by Hamilton Osborne King on behalf of the Ulster Bank.

Another letting, at No 28/30, to Flannigan Flooring Distributors, highlights the growing appeal of the Cathedral Quarter, an area which continues to attract potential tenants, investors and developers, to what is poised to become one of Belfast's most vibrant and dynamic districts.
