Lyndsey is a managing associate in the Guildford real estate team, specialising in industrial development, where she provides expert advice on a wide range of matters including acquisitions, development, lettings, and the sales or refinancing of medium-sized projects.
Her work spans key regions in the South and North West of England, where she has built a reputation for delivering strategic and commercially sound guidance. Lyndsey is also skilled in negotiating and managing strategic option agreements and conditional contracts, representing both landowners and developers. In addition to her development expertise, Lyndsey has a wealth of experience in landlord and tenant matters. She acts on behalf of both landlords and tenants across the office, industrial, and retail sectors, offering tailored advice and comprehensive portfolio management services. Her ability to navigate complex lease structures and property management issues makes her a trusted advisor in the commercial property space.
I am passionate about guiding developments from acquisition to completion. Collaborating closely with clients and advisors to achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding, especially when breaking down complex problems and finding workable solutions with all stakeholders. The process can take years, but the sense of accomplishment when everything comes together is unparalleled.
Lyndsey is also a founding member of the South East Women’s Property Network, an initiative she is deeply passionate about. Through this platform, she actively supports and connects women working in the real estate industry in the South East, fostering collaboration, mentorship, and professional growth.
