Strategic Hire Bolsters Vail Williams In London


Property consultancy Vail Williams has appointed an experienced surveyor in London as business demand continues to expand.


Paolo Vacca has joined the firm after nearly six years at Cartas Jonas in the capital, where he worked in residential and affordable housing valuation teams, following five years with Allsop LLP.


A RICS registered valuer, he specialises in valuing residential property, development sites and commercial properties throughout London and the South East for loan security, purchase, asset management and tax purposes.


Paolo acts for a range of clients, including clearing and private banks, challenger lenders, receivers, property funds, asset managers and private investors, as well as housing associations, developers, and local authorities in land-led developments.


In the residential sector, Paolo is experienced in valuing a range properties – from new builds and HMOs to prime central London properties and portfolios. He is also experienced in carrying out development appraisals on a variety of development sites and permitted development schemes and has Energy Assessor credentials..


James Lacey, Vail Williams London regional managing partner, said:

“This new appointment demonstrates our overarching ambition to expand our offering in London. Paolo is an experienced all-rounder who brings with him a lot of knowledge to our team. He is tasked with helping to grow the valuation offering in London, working alongside our other service lines."

“He has hit the ground running and has fitted in with his new colleagues seamlessly. He will have a big role to play in our future as we continue to increase market share across the capital. We have continued growth planned in London as we look towards the next business plan period from June 2025 onwards.”


Paolo said:

“I am honoured to have joined such a go-ahead firm as Vail Williams. It’s a big new challenge for me, but I was inspired by the firm’s culture and how the business operates. I am determined to do my utmost and use my 15 years of property experience to help maintain and enhance the second-to-none client service for which Vail Williams is famed industry-wide."

”Also, I am looking forward to working again with Vail Williams’ London-based partner Varun-Dev Gudka, who I know well from a previous employment.”


Vail Williams, an active property adviser in the capital for more than two decades, has a team of 20-plus experts working from its base just off Soho Square.


The firm’s property experts provide a range of advisory services for occupiers, landlords, investors, developers and lenders across the city.


Services provided cover everything from investment expertise and business rates support to lease advice and property valuation.
