    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Each day of my insight program was full of varied different jobs. Mainly focusing with the development team looking at comparables of a residential property one day, and building a sales brochure for a residential development opportunity in surrounding areas. I also had many talks with different members from other departments and online zoom calls with the rest of the student in the insight program


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • This program has developed my real estate knowledge on the property market and what processes are taken for different steps of valuation, development and planning. I have learnt new aspects of consideration such as the EPC register and flood risks that are both needed within a valuation report. I have also learnt how comparables are found for properties and projects and what makes a good or bad comparable. alongside looking at a valuation report an sales brochure.

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • Amazing! I have become more knowledgeable on so many different aspects I had never really thought about before from talking to many different members from different departments and different educational backgrounds. Having a particular focus on the grad scheme and placement year this has really helped my focus for my next educational goals.
