The team believes in taking an innovative and creative approach to valuation and appraisal issues. We believe in working in a collaborative, pragmatic, way to foster good decision making and problem solving across the agency.

This is a rare chance to shape the future of valuation and appraisal activity in an influential, national organisation with real social purpose.

How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations.
