David is responsible for enhancing the performance of "property assets" on behalf of either intentional or non-intentional landlord Clients. David looks at investment asset management from an angle not enjoyed by many who have dealt with management all their working lives. His pro-active approach generates substantial tangible benefit.

Having been in the property industry for almost 30 years, David entered the management sector from a valuation and rent review background. Prior to joining LSM Partners, he was a Partner in GVA Grimley following the takeover of Saxon Law, and prior to that he was an equity partners in Allsop & Co.

During his career, David has acted for Institutional investors, property companies, high net worth individuals and public sector clients. He has also managed for corporate occupiers on their portfolios so understands well the balance between the needs of investors and their occupying tenants.

David is regularly appointed by the RICS as an Arbitrator and Independent Expert in respect of commercial rent review disputes and on management matters and service charge disputes. He has appeared as expert witness in the Courts on rent reviews / lease renewals, management matters and service charge disputes.

Outside the office, David enjoys watching and coaching cricket (having been a keen Essex League player himself), watching his two children play club hockey and playing the occasional game of golf. He also enjoys music and plays the classical guitar and lute having given concerts in his younger days!
