LSL Property Services has appointed David Tilak as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

He will also become an executive board director at the estate agent chain with effect from 12 January 2026.

Tilak will join LSL from Serco Group, where he is currently group finance director and responsible for driving operational performance, internal and external reporting and fiscal controls.

He has previously held leadership roles at companies including General Electric and Imperial Brands, where he progressed to become group finance director.

Chair of LSL, Adrian Collins, said: “LSL’s potential as a leading property services group is clear and the Board and senior management are charged with delivering on that potential. David’s appointment comes after a rigorous and extensive search process, and will help bring a sharp focus to the financial aspects of the Group reinvigoration which we have underway.”

CEO, Adam Castleton, added: “David’s extensive experience and proven capabilities make him a strong fit for LSL as we focus on driving our business forwards and leveraging our collective strengths to drive growth, profits and shareholder value. We look forward to working with him.

“I would like to thank David Wolffe, who has been fulfilling the role of interim CFO, for his contribution to LSL. He will continue in the business for a handover period.”
