Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Reading leases and extracting information required to help streamline the management of the property and portfolio. Helping with rent and service charge collection. Organising inspections.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, from the first afternoon after the welcome meeting I was straight into work helping the team work through 300 new leases for an existing clients new portfolio. Once I learnt what to do I was off on my own and given the responsibility to work through as many as I could. They were always supportive and very quick to help if I had any questions

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I did enjoy my internship and would recommend the scheme to other students. I felt I was ready to leave the team after the month. Would have liked to experience more work in different teams - networking with grads and directors only gives so much of an insight.
