Established in 2015, my client is a well-respected, friendly team of 20 property professionals committed to delivering quality service to their customers.

Their focus is on quality over quantity, typically carrying out four to five Level 3 Surveys per week, with one day per week in the office or working from home reserved for report writing.

• Workplace pension (standard).
• RICS memberships paid.
• 45p per mile mileage allowance.
• Lucrative bonus scheme: 20% of income above threshold per quarter (threshold varies between £20,000 and £30,000). For example, at a threshold of £25,000 and quarterly income of £50,000, the bonus would be £5,000 per quarter, totaling approximately £20,000 annually, paid quarterly on top of the basic salary.

Additional Information:

• Average of five surveys per week, generating more than £200,000 in net fees annually.
• Turnaround times: 2-3 days for Level 2, 4-5 days for Level 3.
• Technology used includes Go Report for reporting and drones for site assistance when required.
• Opportunities for career development into valuation and party wall work, with training and support provided.
• Potential progression to assisting the department director, including referral work and bonuses.
• Survey fees: Level 2 (£750 without valuation, £980 with valuation), Level 3 (£1,425).
• Bookings managed by an in-house administrator, with support staff handling files, T&Cs, reports, follow-ups, and reviews.
• Many surveyors have been with the company for 5 to 15 years.
• This is a home-based position, with office attendance expected once a week or fortnight.
• Flexible working arrangements are available, subject to agreement with the line manager and ability to make up time.
