Harry Smith

Partner, Housebuilder & Development

Harry specialises in residential development work and heads our Housebuilder Team, a team that is dedicated to the needs of the house building industry. Twenty five years of involvement with housebuilders, including eight years located within the offices of two national housebuilders means that there are few other solicitors in Scotland with more insight into the needs of the housebuilding industry. Harry has acted for Beazer, Persimmon, Bett, Cala, Barratt, Miller, Wimpey and Turnberry Homes and has wide commercial property and business experience.

Harry provides realistic, commercial advice across a broad spectrum of subjects to clients and has been involved in a number of high value and complex transactions including being the lead partner in a multi-million pound acquisition of a former hospital site for a consortium of builders, the acquisition of a parcel of more than 200 acres of development land in West Lothian and a syndicate funded joint venture development in Fife. He deals with all aspects of land acquisition, development, infrastructure, funding and planning agreements, site assembly, set up and supervision of plot disposal works.
