Montagu Evans is a UK property consultancy that helps clients unlock value from complexity, because that’s where the most meaningful opportunities live.

Our purpose is to bring clarity, creativity, and conviction to the complex. We are experts who collaborate to create value, not just preserve it and our team is built for impact, not oversight.

With a keen interest and awareness of property/industry news and the current market, you will be able to demonstrate a great understanding of how you apply what you have learnt at university to real property matters. Articulate and confident with strong interpersonal skills, you will show an aptitude for building collaborative relationships and possess strong problem-solving skills.

• Enjoy a collaborative ‘can do’ culture where we look to provide a work/life balance through mix of exceptional client service, team socialising and flexible working
• Any additional duties as reasonably requested
