    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Every task I was given I learnt something new, I have enjoyed it to an extent where I looked forward to coming in work and asking for any outstanding works from Directors and Associates. This has probably been the best property related experience I have had up to date simply becvause of the opportunities I was given to undertake.
