David MacLauchlan

Back to Staff I started my property career in 1994 as a junior Sales Negotiator in Chard, soon progressing to Yeovil to head-up the Sales Department of David Lacey Estate Agents at the tender age of 22. During an eight year spell in Yeovil, I studied successfully for my BSc in Estate Management degree at Reading University. In 2003 I commenced my on-the-job Chartered Surveyor training with the Valuation Office Agency in Exeter, gaining Membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 2005. Following a spell in Taunton for a well-known regional firm of surveyors, I was head-hunted for a surveyor/commercial agency role in Yeovil, which resulted in the formation of RMW Surveyors LLP in 2008. In 2011 the opportunity arose for me to return to Laceys, ultimately to replace David Lacey himself in 2012. Whilst continuing to undertake professional work, predominantly to support the Sales and Lettings business streams, I also have a very hands-on daily presence in the office. Whilst my fully in-house team have a great deal of autonomy, I am always available to provide support and advice, ensuring that all our clients and customers are treated fairly and the business is a success. If you’re a prospective Vendor or Landlord, come and see what makes Laceys so different from our competition – we really do pride ourselves in the levels of customer care we provide. I am also very much a family man, with a wonderfully supportive wife and two sons. With my workaholic tendencies, this leaves very little time for anything else (although I am a keen Formula 1 and tennis watcher!) Email me
