Overview of Role

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

My role involved rotating around 4 different departments: valuations, property management, ratings and development. Each day was different from one another but normally consisted of working on reports, conducting site visits and networking with employees throughout the business.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was able to work on a number of interesting and high profile projects. All the projects were directly for clients and I felt the work I did was of help to the team I was working in.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

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

Throughout my time here at Savills I have developed a number of transferable skills. In property management for example, I learnt how to read a lease which is sure to come in useful when looking to find a place of my own. In ratings, I developed a basic understanding of business rates and learnt how a property is 'zoned' and measured up to provide the overall rating value.

Support and Guidance

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

Everyone was very helpful and patient with me. Ethan in development was particularly helpful. He had clearly planned out in advance what projects I would be working on and it made the week a very enjoyable experience.
