Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has appointed Edward (“Ed”) Lifely as a Director within its South-East agency team. Ed, a former Associate Partner at Carter Jonas, will be based in LSH’s Oxford office.

An experienced agent within the Oxford market, Ed has advised a range of corporate, private, college and institutional clients in addition to having an extensive track record on the acquisitions side, having advised both residential and care home developers.

Ed was recently recognised at the Oxford Property Awards where he was highly commended in the Young Person of the year category. 

Ed Lifely said: “I look forward to leading LSH's Oxford Agency team in what is a very exciting time to be working in the region. Oxfordshire has enjoyed unmatched investment over the past 18 months with a very real pipeline of fantastic opportunities.” 

This latest hire takes LSH’s south-east office agency team to over 20 agents covering the Growth Corridor, Thames Valley and South Coast markets. 

Ryan Dean, Head of Transactional Services at LSH, added: “Oxford is a unique market with its own dynamic, so the addition of someone of Ed’s pedigree and proven track record will be welcomed by both clients and colleagues alike. This appointment further strengthens our regional coverage across the entire south-east market and our continued commitment to the life science sector.”

This appointment continues LSH’s talent acquisition activity across its service lines this year, with ongoing recruitment for several roles within the office advisory team across the south-east, covering both capital markets and agency.
