• Carry out property inspections, take measurements, photographs, and gather all relevant site/tenure information.
• Analyse comparable evidence and local market data to support valuation conclusions.
• Produce clear, accurate valuation and advisory reports in line with RICS standards and firm templates.
• Manage multiple one-off instructions at different stages, ensuring deadlines are met.
• Support senior team members in nurturing repeat work from existing clients.
• Work in accordance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book) and internal quality procedures.
• Ensure files are complete, auditable, and compliant.
• Keep up to date with local residential market trends and evidence.

Qualifications

• MRICS (or APC near completion)
• Residential valuation experience (exposure to resi assets)
• Strong numeracy; confident with Excel/MS Office & databases
• Clear, concise report writing with high attention to detail
• Able to manage multiple small instructions and meet deadlines
