Simon Ainsworth Steps Into a New Role as New Build Agent

9th September 2026

Armitstead Barnett is delighted to announce the appointment of Simon Ainsworth, who has taken on a new role with us as a New Build Agent.

Qualifying as a solicitor in 1995, Simon specialised in residential property, with a particular focus on high-value and complex transactions. He has extensive experience in dealing with new-build sites and the complexities associated with them.

Simon was a senior member of the management team at a regional law firm for over 10 years, before retiring from the profession in 2024. He subsequently joined Armitstead Barnett as a Viewing Agent in April 2024 and has now taken the next step in his career with us.

Head of Agency and Partner, Hannah Towers, comments:

“I worked on many transactions with Simon as solicitor, acting for both buyers and sellers, and saw first-hand the seamless service and sound advice he provided. Since retiring from law, Simon has been working with us in the Agency Department and now takes on this new role.

“I know Simon will offer well-rounded advice to our developer clients, drawing on his many years of experience. We have numerous new-build sites lined up over the next few years, and we look forward to seeing this sector of our Agency Department flourish.”

Away from the office, Simon enjoys spending time with his family, particularly at his holiday home near the beach in Abersoch. He is also a keen golfer and an avid supporter, through thick and thin, of his beloved Liverpool FC!

With Simon’s extensive experience in residential property and new-build transactions, our team is well placed to provide expert advice and support throughout the new build process. Contact us to find out how we can help.
