Templeton LPA, the chartered surveyors, with offices in Cardiff and Leeds, has appointed
Richard Deeprose, RICS, as a non- executive director. Richard, who has 40 years’ experience in property, joins Templeton LPA’s board in addition to his current position as director of strategy and planning at
e.surv Chartered Surveyors. Richard is a longstanding member of the RICS Residential Survey & Valuation Group and is also an Associate RICS Assessor. Templeton LPA offers Law of
Property Act (LPA) receivership services to lenders with defaulting borrowers on buy-to-let mortgages. The firm is now owned by LSL Property Services. David Brown, Commercial Director of LSL, says, “It’s a real pleasure to announce Richard’s appointment. He played a fundamental role in LSL’s recent acquisition of Templeton LPA, and his experience and strategic expertise will be invaluable as the company looks to expand in the future and navigate the changeable waters of the current property market.”
Richard says, “It’s an exciting time to be joining the Templeton team. The private rental sector faces a period of change as rental accommodation is set to grow in importance in the housing market, reflecting the difficulties first time buyers are currently experiencing and following the cuts to social housing. “With buy to let mortgage
conditions easing and the average rent at a record high, it’s likely that we’ll see more landlords entering the market in the medium term. At the same time, interest rates cannot stay rock-bottom forever. “A rise in interest rates will mean
that we see more landlords struggling with payments each month, making Templeton’s expertise even more crucial to lenders and tenants.”
