Alex Bennett

Alex is an experienced property developer with lots of higher end developments under his belt as well as renovating properties of his own. He has built his own properties including his family home near The New Forest in Hampshire which was completed in 2018. The same attention to detail that Alex puts into his own developments goes into each and every project.

He has an insatiable appetite for adventure, fitness and extreme sports which has taken him all over the world. He got married to his wife, also called Alex in Summer 2019 who also enjoys adventure and fitness and long walks with their two young daughters and dog Luna in the New Forest.

Alex's passion for property has seen Lakewood build many stunning properties throughout Hampshire. His exceptionally high standards help Lakewood to build high-end developments that make first class family homes.
