Founder

liam horne

I’m a Mosgiel local with a long connection to the property world, shaped by a family involved in development and the trades. Before starting Horne Developments, I spent time shepherding and then worked as a digger and truck driver: hands-on roles that taught me the value of hard work, good planning, and doing a job properly.

I was motivated to start Horne Developments by a simple goal: to build high-quality, affordable homes that genuinely make a difference in the community. What I enjoy most about this work is the people. I work with everyone from the trades who bring each home to life, to the buyers who trust me with one of their biggest financial decisions. Bringing all those parts together to create homes people are proud to live in is what keeps me passionate about what I do.

What People Are Saying

I am so happy with my home it is super well insulated and warm. It’s brand new and modern with way more storage than I first thought once I moved in. My patio and wee garden is perfect size for furniture and growing salad greens. To top it off I have made some wonderful friends in our little community of units whilst, still having complete privacy if I need it. I couldn’t be happier my unit is amazing value for money.  Many thanks Liam.

I’ve owned the property from new for just over 2 years now. The property has been very well designed, and a high quality build, and no defects or issues at all during my time there. The exterior and interior materials and internal furnishings are all high quality, plus there is security PIN code pad access on the front door, and secure windows and doors. I am very happy with my town house purchase in the development, it’s the best design and highest quality I’ve seen in the area at a great price point.

I am very happy in my wee home so warm and comfortable, all the ladies here are really nice and friendly, it is so handy to everything, hardly need a car. It was a good decision for me, so no regrets at all.

Downsizing is the best thing I could have done in my life time. In the last 10 years I have gone from a three bedroom home, to a two bedroom, now a one bedroom. It's compact, warm, easy to keep clean & tidy. More time for socializing. As you get older your life starts changing and you start slowing down (for some). Love my new home!
