Vail Williams strengthens South Coast team

Property consultancy Vail Williams has strengthened its commercial and residential service offering with the appointment of two new surveyors on the South Coast.

Andrew Lubman has joined the firm’s Southampton office as senior surveyor, focusing on property development consultancy, while Finn Rawlings has been appointed surveyor at the Bournemouth office, working within the agency team.

Andrew joins from Hampshire County Council, where he was senior development surveyor, and is dual chartered with the Royal Town Planning Institute and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. 

He said: “I’m excited to be joining Vail Williams, working with clients on regeneration and development to unlock complex sites and deliver commercially viable, sustainable development.”

Meanwhile, Finn joins from Symonds & Sampson in Poundbury, Dorset, where he worked in general practice.

Finn added: “I look forward to supporting Vail Williams’ agency team in Bournemouth on leasehold acquisitions and disposals across Dorset and the South Coast for landlords and occupiers.”

Both Andrew and Finn are graduates of Oxford Brookes University, with Andrew also holding a Master’s degree in regeneration from the university.

Their appointments support Vail Williams’ continued growth as a full-service property consultancy advising clients on areas including planning, valuation, asset management and property acquisition and disposal.

Russell Miller, Vail Williams’ managing partner for the South Coast, added: “Andrew and Finn further strengthen our growing service provision for private and public sector clients.

“Working across Southampton and London, Andrew will be specialising in development consultancy and urban regeneration.

“Andrew advises clients on identifying, appraising and progressing development opportunities, providing strategic guidance on planning, viability and delivery to help ensure schemes are commercially robust and deliverable.

“Finn will be assisting with commercial property acquisitions, lease negotiations, disposals and strategic property advice, helping clients make informed decisions in a competitive market.

“He’ll be advising landlords, occupiers and investors on commercial property transactions, helping clients secure the right premises, maximise asset value and achieve their business objectives.”
