Job description

Let's be honest. The property management market feels stagnant right now.

Many Surveyors are finding themselves doing the same job they were doing 18 months ago, on the same salary, with the same title, and no clear route to progression.

This opportunity is different.

I'm working exclusively with one of the UK's most respected commercial property businesses to recruit a Senior Surveyor into their London team. Having built out much of this team personally over the last few years, I've seen first-hand the culture they've created and the opportunities available. Every single person I have placed there remains with the business, progressing their careers and genuinely enjoying what they do.

This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading team managing a prestigious Grade A commercial estate portfolio across some of London's most sought-after assets.

For ambitious Property Managers frustrated by slow progression elsewhere, this role offers a genuine route to Associate level within approximately 18 months based on performance, not tenure.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of a high-profile Grade A commercial portfolio, working with institutional-quality assets and sophisticated ownership structures.

Responsibilities

• Day-to-day management of a prime commercial estate portfolio
• Leading landlord and tenant relationships across prestigious assets
• Managing rent reviews, lease renewals and wider lease events
• Service charge budgeting, monitoring and reporting
• Preparing client reports and delivering strategic asset recommendations
• Working closely with asset managers to drive value and maximise performance
• Supporting junior surveyors within the team as you progress towards Associate level

About You

• Property management experience gained within commercial real estate
• Strong understanding of landlord and tenant matters, lease events and service charges
• Experience managing office, mixed-use or institutional-grade assets
• Ambitious, commercial and keen to accelerate your career
• Looking for more responsibility, better assets and genuine progression

If you’re feeling frustrated by limited progression, restricted earning potential or a lack of opportunity in the current market, this could be the move that transforms your career.
