Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In my first 2 weeks I was based in agency and was attended daily viewings and market appraisals. I then moved to the development and valuation department where I was completing new build comparables and analysing these developments. I also completed some work in the estate management department, where I was drafting tenancy agreements such as AST’s and FBT’s.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I completed tenancy agreements, which involved contacting clients. I also carried out a development appraisal using ARGUS for a client. I felt like I was given a lot of responsibility and that the work I carried out was worthwhile rather than just doing work shadowing.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
