The Opportunity

Beach Baker is working with an established independent Chartered Surveying practice to recruit two Valuation Surveyors into a busy and growing valuation team.

The firm has an excellent reputation within the market and works closely with private investors, property funds, banks and other financial institutions, providing a varied range of valuation advice across commercial and residential property.

There is a strong pipeline of work and an immediate requirement to grow the team, including replacing an experienced Surveyor who is retiring.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Valuer who enjoys being out inspecting property, working directly with clients and generating fees, rather than being confined to a purely desktop-based valuation role.

The Role

The successful candidate will work across a varied range of valuation instructions, with the ability to shape the workload around their existing experience and interests.

Responsibilities will include:

• Undertaking commercial and residential property valuations
• Providing loan security valuations for banks, financial institutions, private investors and funds
• Valuing a range of office, retail, industrial, mixed-use and residential property
• Undertaking valuations for Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and accounting purposes
• Preparing valuations in accordance with RICS Red Book standards
• Undertaking property inspections across London and the South East
• Preparing high-quality valuation reports
• Working on portfolio valuations and development appraisals
• Managing instructions from initial inspection through to completion
• Developing strong relationships with existing clients
• Managing your own workload and contributing towards team fee targets
• Supporting the continued growth of an established valuation business

There is flexibility around the precise mix of work, meaning candidates with a stronger commercial or residential valuation background are both encouraged to apply.

The Candidate

We are interested in speaking with candidates from Surveyor through to Associate level.

Ideally, you will have:

• MRICS qualification and relevant valuation experience
• RICS Registered Valuer status
• Ideally 1+ year PQE, although the firm is open-minded on experience level
• Commercial and/or residential valuation experience
• Experience working to RICS Red Book standards
• Loan security valuation experience would be advantageous
• Strong report-writing and analytical skills
• Confidence undertaking inspections independently
• Strong client-facing and communication skills
• A commercial approach and desire to generate fees
• Willingness to travel regularly around London and the South East

Candidates do not necessarily need to be based within the M25, providing they are comfortable travelling for inspections and client requirements.

Why Apply?

• £55,000 - £80,000 basic salary, depending on experience
• Commission available on top of basic salary
• Excellent existing pipeline of valuation work
• Two immediate vacancies
• Established client base of private investors, property funds and financial institutions
• Varied commercial and residential workload
• Exposure to loan security, tax, accounting and portfolio valuation work
• Opportunity to tailor the balance between residential and commercial instructions depending on experience
• Independent environment with strong autonomy
• Genuine opportunity to bill well and increase earnings through commission
• Established reputation within the investment and lending market

The environment will particularly suit someone who enjoys being commercially active, client-facing and out inspecting property, with the opportunity to build a strong fee book.
