Brian Macfarlane Email & Phone Number

For more than twenty years I have been helping residential developers purchase development sites. My experience and knowledge of the market mean I can quickly identify the important issues and risks, find pragmatic solutions and get contracts concluded as quickly as possible. Every housebuilder is different and I understand that each has different budgets, targets and ambitions. I listen to and get know and understand what each housebuilder needs. I act for-• several of the largest developers in the UK (including PLCs)• high quality regional developers• RSLs and• smaller developers carrying out their first few developmentsI have been involved in the majority of the current largest development sites in Scotland. I also have considerable experience in strategic land, acting for some of the UK's largest developers in-• option agreements• promotion agreements• collaboration agreements and• equalisation agreementsI regularly deal with developers' funders. I identify early any legal issues that will present problems and ensure the funder has sufficient protection meaning the purchase can proceed without delay.The team and I don’t stop assisting once we have purchased a site, we provide a full service including-• site set-up• plot sales and • Planning, Construction and Litigation advice.An increasing number of landowners also benefit from my experience- selling land to an experienced housebuilder can be daunting. My knowledge means I can help re-dress the balance ensuring landowners- • avoid many of the pitfalls of selling to a housebuilder• get maximum value for their land • retain as much control as possibleDevelopers and landowners alike are keen to ensure their legal fees are fair and want to avoid unexpected increases. I will always agree a fee with you at the outset- avoiding any surprises later.Please get in touch to find out more about how my team and I can help you.
