What do you do from day to day? I work in the Residential Valuations department in London. It’s been a steep learning curve, and working in one of the world’s most vibrant property markets makes every day exciting and challenging.
Have you worked on high-profile projects? The biggest was a regeneration project, London’s first large zero carbon mixed use development. I valued the residential element – 650 new flats and houses.
Has your level of responsibility increased? Initially I carried out research and supported my directors. Now I’m producing valuation reports and communicating regularly with clients and developers.
How are you finding the social side? My colleagues are great to work with – which is just as well, since I spend most days with them! You meet people from other departments and firms, and I’m really benefiting from making contacts who will be valuable in the future.
