Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is based within the Estate Management team, which means I have an incredibly varied role. Tasks range from, but are in no way limited to, on site visits to dealing with utilities. I really appreciate the responsibilities and trust I have been given in my internship to deal with tasks and projects myself and contact clients and contractors.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a great deal of responsibility, left to manage tasks and projects by myself, these where live projects and needed to be complete to a high standard for the clients. moreover, going to help with house viewings, run errands, write heads of terms and sort important contracts. Majority of the time I felt like I was just like any other employee rather than an intern which was really nice.
