The Role

We are seeking a sharp, ambitious Investment & Development Consultant to support the identification, appraisal, and execution of new acquisition and development opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Source and appraise off-market and on-market property investment and development opportunities
• Prepare detailed financial appraisals, feasibility studies, and cashflows
• Manage due diligence, from initial interest through to completion
• Work with planning consultants, architects, and other advisors to unlock value in development assets
• Monitor market trends, policy shifts, and planning updates across target geographies
• Assist in exit strategy planning – disposal, leasing, or asset management recommendations
• Attend networking events, maintain relationships with agents, introducers, and partners

About You

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in property investment, development, or advisory
• Strong understanding of residential and/or mixed-use development in Greater London and the South East
• Confident in running financial appraisals (ideally proficient in Argus or Excel-based modelling)
• Commercially aware, with strong negotiation and communication skills
• Entrepreneurial mindset – proactive, self-motivated, and comfortable taking initiative
• RICS qualification (or working towards) is advantageous, but not essential
