    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was able to visit a number of different estates, with varied property portfolios and management strategies. Working in the various estate offices gave a great insight into the day to day operations and running of the estate. It was interesting to work with private clients, and clients in the public sector.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I don't think I've learned any specific skills, but it has been useful to put what I have been learning in lectures into real life situations, which has helped to develop my understanding of many areas of property and planning law. I think I have also developed my communication skills and working in a professional environment.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • We had many Zoom calls with talks from the various departments and potential roles available within Savills. However, I think this could be improved by dedicating a networking day to speak to the different departments, and other summer scheme students one on one to gage a better understanding and more interactive than zoom calls
