Are you an experienced property or lettings professional looking for your next opportunity? We're recruiting a proactive and commercially minded Property Negotiator to join a busy Lettings Team, helping to increase the supply of affordable housing and connect landlords with tenants who need suitable homes.

About the Organisation

Our client is a leading housing organisation working in partnership with local authorities and private landlords to deliver housing solutions and support local communities. With a strong focus on customer service, increasing access to housing and making a positive difference to people's lives, the organisation plays an important role in helping individuals and families find suitable accommodation.

The Role

This is an exciting temp-to-perm opportunity for someone who combines strong property negotiation skills with a customer-focused approach. You'll play a key role in sourcing properties, building relationships with landlords and agents, and ensuring available homes are marketed and let as efficiently as possible.

Working across the private rented sector, you'll manage the lettings process from initial property sourcing through to successful tenancy, balancing commercial objectives with the needs of prospective tenants.

Key Responsibilities

• Source and procure properties by building relationships with private landlords, social landlords and letting agents.


• Generate new business through proactive outreach, cold calling and networking.


• Conduct property viewings, market appraisals, valuations and property inspections.


• Negotiate rental terms and manage transactions through to completion.


• Match prospective tenants with suitable properties, taking account of their individual circumstances and housing needs.


• Assess property suitability, including compliance with relevant property standards and health and safety requirements.


• Coordinate property marketing, advertisements, photographs and promotional materials.


• Support prospective tenants with the lettings process, including references, credit checks, benefits and tenancy arrangements.


• Maintain accurate property, applicant and tenancy records, ensuring CRM systems and databases are kept up to date.


• Work collaboratively with internal teams and external agencies to deliver an effective, customer-focused service.


• Meet individual and team targets while maximising property availability and income.

About You

We're looking for a confident, motivated and commercially aware individual who can build relationships, negotiate effectively and manage a varied workload.

You will ideally have:

• Experience in property lettings, property management, housing or a related customer-facing role.


• A good understanding of property standards, housing legislation and landlord and tenant requirements.


• Strong negotiation, influencing and business development skills.


• Experience dealing directly with landlords, tenants, applicants or members of the public.


• Excellent communication and customer service skills, including the ability to handle challenging situations professionally.


• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple properties and transactions simultaneously.


• Good IT skills and experience maintaining accurate records on databases or CRM systems.


• A full, valid UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle, as some travel to properties will be required.

You'll be proactive, resilient and comfortable working towards targets, with the ability to balance commercial priorities with a genuine commitment to helping people access suitable housing.

What's on Offer?

Salary starting at circa £42,000 per annum, plus benefits once permanent.

Temp-to-perm opportunity, offering the potential to secure a permanent position.

Flexible working arrangements, combining office and home-based working.

A varied, hands-on role with autonomy and responsibility.

The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to local communities and people seeking housing.
