    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Each day is different, depending on the team I was with it could involve compiling Options Schedules for occupiers looking to lease new space or attending and hosting viewings for occupiers or on behalf of landlords to other office or retail agents. I also conducted a lot of data-handling for master supply schedules and take-up statistics for investment transactions as well as comparable-evidence searches for the valuations teams.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Excel skills have been greatly built-upon as well as increasing my confidence in conversing with occupiers and landlords who at first seem to be much more knowledgeable about the market than myself.
