Stewart retains his role as chair of Enra Group.
He served as chief executive of Coventry Building Society between July 2006 and March 2014, and previously acted as its finance director and operations director.
Stewart will be replaced as chair of the audit and risk committee by LSL’s deputy chair Bill Shannon.
Simon Embley, non executive chair of LSL, said: “David is an experienced chief executive, with a track record of success both in growing businesses and in managing during periods of uncertainty.
“His detailed knowledge of financial services will be invaluable as we seek to continue to build our capability in this sector, while maximising the potential of our estate agency and surveying operations. Having worked closely with him, I am confident he is the right person to take the group forward.
“I also want to place on record the board’s thanks and my personal appreciation for the part Ian Crabb has played in the group’s development since he joined us in 2013, Ian has always acted with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism, and I wish him every future success.”
