You’ll receive one-to-one mentorship, in-house training, and ongoing support to build a solid foundation in the property sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Interaction: Assist in registering prospective tenants, qualifying their requirements, and matching them with suitable properties.
• Viewings: Accompany prospective tenants on property viewings, helping them understand the features and benefits of each property.
• Tenant Support: Guide tenants through the lettings process, from application to move-in, ensuring a smooth and professional experience.
• Landlord Communication: Assist in maintaining regular communication with landlords, updating them on market conditions, feedback, and viewings.
• Marketing Support: Help prepare property listings including taking photographs, writing descriptions, and uploading content to major property portals.
• Administration: Support the preparation of tenancy agreements, referencing paperwork, and compliance documentation.
• Property Management Support: Assist in coordinating maintenance, repairs, and inspections with contractors and tenants.
• Market Awareness: Conduct research into the local rental market, pricing trends, and competitor activity to support lettings strategy.
• Compliance: Learn and apply the legal and regulatory requirements relating to lettings and property management.

• Eagerness to learn and take on new challenges in a fast-paced environment.
• Organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Proactive, enthusiastic, and results-driven.
• Basic computer literacy and a willingness to learn new systems.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (preferred but not essential, depending on location).

• Familiarity with lettings legislation or property management practices.
• Knowledge of the local property market.
