Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I would go on property inspections with colleagues and make observational notes which would feed into valuation reports that I would write which would assess a range of factors concerning the subject property in order to value it.
My role also involved researching rental and investment comps and collating information on various properties in table format using Excel spreadsheets.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes - quite literally from day dot I was taken on an inspection where I spoke with the owner of the property, took notes and utilised the information retained to write up a valuation report for our client.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
