Lambert Smith Hampton, from its own careers pages

The catch: The dates on the graduate site were still advertising the September 2025 intake when checked, so published deadlines there cannot be trusted for the current cycle. Regional office applications are not a scheme intake at all: LSH keeps the CV on file and contacts you only if a role arises.

Common questions

Does Lambert Smith Hampton sponsor visas for its graduate scheme?

Unconfirmed. Lambert Smith Hampton publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Lambert Smith Hampton is a commercial property consultancy formed in 1773 and working across the UK and Ireland. The graduate scheme runs two years and ends at the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence, with a dedicated APC supervisor and counsellor, a specialist APC trainer providing revision courses, case study support and a mock interview, and a personal development plan. In larger offices graduates rotate through different teams. There are three pathways: Commercial Real Estate, Building Surveying and Planning. A RICS or RTPI accredited degree is the typical route in but LSH positively encourages applicants from any degree discipline who want to become chartered, and those without an accredited property degree are put through a part time RICS accredited MSc in Real Estate via a Chartered Surveyor Degree Apprenticeship, which takes about two years part time plus six months towards the APC. The exception is important: Graduate Planner and Graduate Building Surveyor applicants must already be studying the relevant accredited degree. Application routes differ by office. London Commercial Real Estate is CV only with no cover letter followed by multiple choice questions sent within seven working days, London Building Surveying and Planning need both a CV and a cover letter, and regional offices are handled ad hoc by emailing the early careers mailbox. Nothing on the graduate site mentions sponsorship, visas or right to work.
