Job description

If you’re an experienced Lettings Negotiator looking for a role where you can take real ownership of your properties, rather than simply processing lets, this could be worth a conversation.

I’m recruiting for an established property group with a 40-year track record, looking for a confident and commercially minded Lettings Negotiator to join their PRS team.

This is a hands-on, mobile role where you’ll manage the lettings process from start to finish — from marketing and generating demand through to viewings, negotiation, tenant selection and move‑ins.

Essex / London & surrounding areas

Full UK driving licence required

Weekend working as part of the agreed working pattern

What you’ll be doing:

• Taking ownership of allocated vacant properties and minimising void periods
• Creating compelling property listings, photography, video and marketing content
• Managing enquiries, qualifying applicants and maintaining an active pipeline
• Conducting property viewings across Essex, London and surrounding areas
• Negotiating rental terms and making recommendations on suitable tenants
• Managing digital and social media activity to generate applicant demand
• Monitoring enquiries, viewings and conversion rates and identifying ways to improve performance
• Supporting check‑ins, check‑outs and the wider PRS operation
• Building strong relationships with applicants, tenants, agents and internal teams

The key here is commercial judgement. You’ll be expected to look at a property and understand what will help it let — whether that’s pricing, presentation, marketing, applicant quality or the overall approach.

About you:

• Around 2 years' property-sector experience, ideally within residential lettings
• Strong negotiation and applicant‑qualification skills
• Confident dealing with customers and stakeholders
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own diary
• Good understanding of property marketing and social media
• Organised, resilient and commercially minded
• Full UK driving licence
• Ambitious about building a career within residential lettings

There’s also a strong benefits package, including Bupa healthcare after probation, a £300 Employee of the Month voucher, discretionary annual bonus, pension contributions, employee assistance, ongoing CPD, social events and death-in-service cover.
