Retail Lease Consultancy Review

Acting for a number of Landlords and Tenants in any Landlord an Tenant Act 1954 transactions including lease renewals, re-gears and rent reviews. My responsibilities include directly contacting and relaying information to the client and negotiating directly with the opposing agent. Shopping Centres I have acted for Landlords of include Camberley Shopping Centre, Salisbury Shopping Centre, Gracechurch Shopping Centre (Sutton Coldfield). I have also been involved in the surrender and reletting of a High-Street shop.

My role includes being on the phone constantly throughout my daily work, this has enabled to be confident and precise when having conversations with colleagues or other employers. My organization skills have improved being derived from the need to be able to handle multiple tasks at once. Another new skill that I have developed is being able to manage clients expectations and then to fulfill them.

I was given a great deal of responsibility in my individual team during my placement which has made my 13 months in the team much more beneficial. Other areas in the business I have been involved in and had responsibilities with: - Next Generation Board Member. - Graduate Client Group Member. - Being on the Edinburgh Napier University Surveying Industry Panel Event representing Savills (A day in the life of a placement student). - Savills Retail Blog Post.

I was given support from my line manager, as well as other directors in the retail team. At Savills I was assigned an APC tutor as well as having lots of support from the HR team. Everyone here was always willing to help and to see how I was getting on, especially in the first few months of starting here.

There was a great sense of togetherness within the company itself, especially at such a difficult time with Covid-19. This therefore left it difficult for many company-wide events to take place as Government restrictions were in place. There was however lots of virtual meetings especially with the Graduate community which being a placement student felt very welcoming. Apart from that being in London and living with other placement students has been a great experience.

At University Savills was always top of list. I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement here at Savills, my team along with the community of employees that I have come into contact with have become my normality and returning to University will seem somewhat unfamiliar. I would love to return to the company as a Graduate when I finish my time at Nottingham Trent and I will certainly be making my application when process becomes underway.
