Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Residential development predominately red book valuation reports, mainly for secured lending, on residential development land, residential portfolios, and high-value single houses. I have had experience in the comparable and residual methods, with some basic investment method experience too. I have been responsible at various times for making inspection notes, measuring, doing environmental / planning due diligence, researching comparable evidence, writing reports and reaching conclusions on value.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes definitely, I produce entire reports and my line managers alter them and give me feedback. These reports can take weeks to prepare,

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Level of diligence and attention to detail would be my principle takeaway from the placement. Learning how to produce work that is client ready.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

More than enough, I have regular calls with my line managers and bi-annual appraisals. Even when the office was going through a comprehensive refurbishment.
