Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Savills?
My time at Savills has been a valuable and rewarding experience. I have had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects and gain exposure to high-profile assets, which has significantly broadened my knowledge of the property industry. I have enjoyed learning from experienced colleagues, developing technical skills, and contributing to reports and valuations that directly support clients. The fast-paced and professional environment has pushed me to grow in confidence and attention to detail, while also giving me insight into the collaborative nature of the real estate sector.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
My responsibilities include analysing financial and market information, supporting the preparation of reports, and assisting with inspections to ensure that accurate and thorough evidence is collected. I also contribute to research on wider market trends and help in producing outputs that are clear and client-focused.
What I enjoy most is the balance between analytical work and exposure to real assets. I find it rewarding to turn detailed data into meaningful insights, while also learning from colleagues and being involved in projects that have a tangible impact. The variety of assignments has kept the role engaging and has given me the chance to continually develop my skills.

When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Savills?
I would advise future applicants to research the firm thoroughly and be ready to demonstrate a genuine interest in property and the wider market. Showing enthusiasm, curiosity, and commercial awareness goes a long way. During the process it also helps to be yourself and highlight both your strengths and areas where you are keen to learn. Once onboard, taking every opportunity to ask questions, get involved, and learn from colleagues makes the transition smoother and ensures you get the most out of the early months.
