    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • My insight week has been a very diverse and exciting experience, enabled by my day to day schedule, which was thoughtfully integrated and arranged by my mentor, I have been able to learn, in depth, the processes involved within varying areas of specialism in surveying. This encompasses; Surveying (Commercial, Residential and Development). The experience has been a refreshing mixture of both onsite viewings with prospective clients and engaging in-office tasks.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • The insight week has enabled me to better my communication skills, through both in person and email contact with a large number of the friendly Savills Birmingham team. I have also learnt some of the key aspects Savills looks for in a prospective tenant, that shapes the lease agreement in line with the Landlords best interests, in order to secure a deal where the terms are both favourable and financially reliable without any problems.
