    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • This role varied from day to day. Some days I would be out of the office all day at an estate visit, some days I would be in the office for half the day and the other half would be spent visiting clients and other days I would spend all day in the office. When in the office I undertook a wide range of tasks from mapping to finding comparable evidence.
