Role Overview

We are expanding our panel of consultant residential Assessors and Valuers to undertake portfolio pricing assessments/valuations and inspections (both internally and externally) of social housing properties. We undertake work across the country, and are looking to recruit in all areas of England and Wales.

The role 

You will be inspecting tenanted residential portfolios, completing inspection forms, taking street and portfolio photographs and using your research to provide us with feedback relating to the local property market and the existing housing stock, in addition to completing a excel schedule by recording market pricing and rental estimates– based on market comparable research and discussions with local agents active in the area(s).

You will then provide a consolidated overview of the factors impacting the local residential market and/or attributes that could impact property pricing.

Work will be on a casual basis, on hourly rates (to be agreed) with no retainer. Work will be intermittent with no guaranteed work flow, with projects varying in length from a day to a number of weeks. This position may suit either part-time or retired surveyors, or those seeking to complement existing estate agency or valuation work.

Suitable training on our working practices will be provided along with ongoing ad hoc training as and when necessary.
