The Commercial Property team at BPE Solicitors have advised on the completion of an extensive refurbishment at Windsor House in Harrogate, owned by longstanding client, Boultbee Brooks Real Estate.

The refurbishment of the former Grand Hotel has restored the building’s former splendour with the creation of a new co-working space, meeting area and cafe.

Douglas Armstrong, property partner, worked on the purchase of this property in 2015, and over the last seven years BPE has overseen the legal elements of its property management which has included advising on in the region of 450 new lettings.

Zoe Wood, asset manager of Boultbee Brooks, said: “Doug and the Property team at BPE are reliable, concise and very easy to deal with. It’s why we’ve instructed the team for almost a decade and would happily recommend them to property investors”.

Doug added: “It is a pleasure to work with Zoe and the team at Windsor House and it’s great to see the property evolve and adapt to the needs of the businesses working in Harrogate, while regaining some of its former glory."
