LSH adds to valuation team
Lambert Smith Hampton has recruited valuer Chris Flatley as associate director in its Manchester office.
Flatley has 17 years' property experience and has worked at Cushman & Wakefield and, prior to that, Dunlop Heywood/Erinaceous.
Nick Davies, head of LSH's valuation team in Manchester, explained: "Investment activity across the North West reached a phenomenal £660m during the first quarter of 2010, compared with £303m during the last three months of 2009 – an increase of 117%. Investing in the most important part of our service delivery – our people – enables us to capitalise on the increased market activity.
"Chris' appointment gives us a nine-strong valuation team, providing depth of experience and breadth of service offering across the North West market."
Flatley said: "This is a great move for me both in terms of joining a leading firm in the region as well as in the professional challenges and opportunities that the job will provide.
