Job description

Graduate / Assistant Surveyor - Lease Advisory

Birmingham | £35,000 | Commercial Property Consultancy

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Graduate or Assistant Surveyor to join a well-established and highly regarded commercial property consultancy in Birmingham, specialising in landlord and tenant advice across the Midlands and beyond.

This role is open to a broad range of backgrounds. You might already be working in lease advisory and looking for a genuinely high-growth, high-performance environment where you can accelerate your development. Or you might be in a different area of surveying - property management, agency, valuation, or a general practice graduate role - and looking for a clear route into lease consultancy. Either way, if you have some exposure to lease advisory work and want to build a specialist career in it, this is worth a conversation.

The Role

You will support and increasingly take ownership of a range of lease advisory instructions, gaining exposure to the full breadth of landlord and tenant work. Key responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with rent reviews and lease renewals across a variety of asset classes
• Undertaking lease due diligence to support acquisitions and disposals
• Contributing to rental and capital valuation advice
• Supporting lease restructuring, regears, extensions and surrenders
• Assisting with dispute resolution matters, including preparation for arbitration and expert witness instructions
• Liaising directly with clients, agents and solicitors as your experience develops
• Carrying out market research and analysis to support negotiations and reports

About You

• Some exposure to lease advisory/landlord and tenant work, whether through a graduate role, APC training, an assistant surveyor position, or another area of commercial surveying
• Open to candidates already specialising in lease advisory, as well as those looking to move into it from a related discipline
• Working towards or holding MRICS (APC support available)
• Strong analytical and numerical skills with good attention to detail
• Ambitious, proactive and motivated to build a long-term career in lease consultancy
• Full UK driving licence

Why Join?

• A genuine route into specialist lease advisory work, regardless of your current background
• A high-growth, high-performance environment for those already working in the discipline
• Direct mentorship from experienced lease consultancy professionals
• Exposure to a varied and high-quality caseload, including landlord and tenant, asset management and valuation work
• Structured support towards MRICS qualification
• Clear progression pathway within a growing, well-regarded team
