Summer Intern Review

I have assisted with mainly estate management; honing in on my valuation and comparable skills, due diligence and inspections of land. I have been in and out of the office which has been very enjoyable, seeing clients and tenants on their land, viewing prospective properties and seeing a land sale from start to finish, including assisting with the valuation and site visit.

Coming into this internship I had very little experience of what estate management entails so this has been a great skill I have learnt; how to produce comparables for valuations, some aspects of law, through due diligence and drafting tenancy documents. I have also helped with marketing which I have little experience with. I have been given lots of solo work and work to assist colleagues which has given me a broad range of collaborative and independent skills.

Yes, a mix of independent and group work meant I was always doing something, with a lot of it solely being my responsibility. I have completed work for my superiors which has been helpful in future decisions made over land.

Where it was needed I received it, any questions I had were answered in full and before tasks complete directions were given to me as to what needed to be done. This also allowed me to take initiative and do many things myself. Although I had direction, I also had freedom in how I completed the tasks set.

Very pleasant, everyone was lovely. Everyone was lovely to talk to, always happy to help and in general a very welcoming team. Although I was only in the company for a month I felt valued as a member.

I really enjoyed, it was a great insight into the wider company. I always had something to do and everyone was willing to give me tasks and make me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend this internship.

Yes

Just be yourself, they want you to be interested in the company and the placement. They also want someone who will work hard with a personality about them.
