Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Valuing a range of properties, finding comparable evidence, researching planning matters, administrative and office tasks, site visits, attending meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given real projects that I worked on pretty much as independently as any other member of the team would with guidance and support there if required. This gives an excellent opportunity to learn by working things out on your own rather than just being told what to do step by step and allows for your own individual style of working and your own ideas, even at the most junior level.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
For any BSc real estate students, skills learnt at uni are very applicable to the role during a summer scheme and its a great chance to put theory into practice and see how it works in real life.
Provides a great opportunity to build upon communication/public speaking skills, excel skills and research skills as well as writing professionally and making reports.
