Alexandra, a surveyor in the industrial agency team at Lambert Smith Hampton’s Southampton office, joins the 19 person-strong SPA committee which oversees the running of the organisation, arranges networking events and promotes Southampton’s buoyant property sector further afield. The committee comprises a range of different parties operating across Southampton’s property industry, including solicitors, journalists, agents, architects and investors.

SPA, which was founded in 1948, was originally established to ensure reputable practices were adhered to predominantly in the residential sector. However, in the last 15 years, the association has become more centred on commercial agency and now includes a substantial commercial property database which all members can use.

Commenting on her appointment, Alexandra said: “I’m looking forward to getting involved and having a say on the events and functions the SPA organises and generally raising awareness of the SPA on the South Coast."

Alexandra is part of Lambert Smith Hampton’s Southampton office, which enjoyed another highly successful year in 2015. In EGI’s (Estates Gazette’s online service) annual agency rankings – the competition for the country’s most active agents, Lambert Smith Hampton’s Southampton office worked alongside the firm’s Fareham office to once again be named the most active commercial property agent in Hampshire for 2015. The team’s success over the course of the year ensured that the firm has now won the Hampshire award for a remarkable ninth year in a row.
