Anna Kaparaki – Greek International Women’s Award

Mackinnons are thrilled to see that our marine and shipping law solicitor, Anna Kaparaki, who joined us in 2018, has been shortlisted for this prestigious award within her home country of Greece.

There are not many Scots lawyers who could expect to be nominated for this and Anna compliments our marine and shipping team with her international experience in this area of the law.

We were delighted to assist her in achieving dual qualification as a Scottish solicitor and, as well as working with ourselves, she divides her time as a lecturer at Liverpool’s John Moore’s University.

She has built an enviable reputation in the maritime world and is a well known name through her various contacts and memberships of shipping associations.

Anyone wishing to vote for Anna should feel free to access the link below and we wish her well in the final assessment.

Residential Property Quarterly Reflections and Insights

The latest quarterly report from the ASPC gives a reassuring picture of local market activity, with the house price index remaining, mostly, in the positive. The change in quarterly price is +1.5%, while the annual change is -0.5%. Taken over five years, the index is marginally positive at +0.4%. While the figures are reassuring, it may well be that our local market is yet to feel the strain of the general economic background and only time will tell whether this will be reflected in the remainder of 2023. Buyers’ wariness over the short term may well affect property sales as they effectively “sit tight” to see what happens with interest rates. This may result in a sluggish Autumn/Winter market as moving plans are put on hold, but for the moment, there is still healthy demand for properties in desirable locations and in good condition.
