Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role within my summer placement has a variety of tasks which makes it exciting and interesting. I regularly complete renewals for tenancies on properties or land and complete the relevant notices or letters. I have taken rental enquiries from potential clients and spoken to clients about various problems. I have done a lot of investigation into wayleave agreements on estates. I have provided the base line for a valuation on some buildings

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my placement a lot it exceeded my expectations a lot as i was given a lot more responsibility than I initially thought which i enjoyed as it gave every piece of work a lot more meaningfulness. I loved the company culture as it feels that everyone gets on with everyone and everyone feels like they want to help each other. I would love to go back to work at Fisher German as the graduates look like they have a good level of responsibility with taking their own estates on in management.
