Lismore Real Estate Advisors has promoted Chris Thornton to senior associate and appointed Chrissie Clancy as a surveyor as the property advisory firm grows its Edinburgh-based operation.

Chris Thornton, who joined the firm in November 2020, has been an integral part of the team, contributing to key transactions and fostering client relationships that have helped drive the firm’s success. In his new role as senior associate, he will take on greater responsibilities and be involved in guiding the firm’s strategic initiatives.

“I am thrilled to step into this new role at such an exciting time for Lismore,” said Chris Thornton. “The opportunities I’ve had to grow here have been exceptional and I look forward to contributing further to our clients’ success and the firm’s bright future.”



Chrissie Clancy undertook a work experience programme with Lismore whilst a student and joins the team from Knight Frank, where she has worked for the past three years as a graduate surveyor, passing her APC earlier this year. She will help support the firm’s expanding client base and contribute to its innovative investment strategies.

“I’m delighted to join Lismore and to become part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking team,” said Chrissie Clancy. “I’m eager to bring my skills to the table and contribute to the firm’s continued success as it solidifies its position as a market leader.”

As Lismore approaches its fifth anniversary, the firm said the appointments underscore its dedication to recognising and fostering talent while enhancing its operational capacity to meet the growing demands of the market.

Director Colin Finlayson added: “These appointments reflect the growth and evolution of Lismore over the past five years. Chris Thornton’s promotion is well-deserved and highlights our commitment to rewarding excellence, while Chrissie Clancy’s appointment brings fresh perspectives and energy to our team. Together, they will play pivotal roles in shaping the future of the firm.”



Since launching in March 2020, Lismore has achieved significant milestones, including advising on over £1.5 billion of key Scottish investment transactions and has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional results and delivering the best possible service and advice to clients.
