Overview
Every day was different, there were always new tasks and skills to be learnt. Examples of work included: finding comparables, drafting ASTs, writing rent review letters, updating Tenancy Agreement Forms, net zero projects, undertaking property inspections and uploading them on software, using LandApp to create plans. I feel as though I learnt a lot and really got a taster of the role of a Rural Agent.
Skills
I have learnt and developed numerous skills. For example, I have learnt how to use specialist software such as LandApp, TouchRight and APR, this enhancing my technological skills. My communication has improved through chatting to clients in person and on the phone. Organisational skills have strengthened as I have had to manage a variety of tasks each day and ensured they are all completed.
Responsibilities
Yes, I feel like I was given quite a lot of responsibility everyday. I was handed important tasks and engaged directly with a number of clients and contractors
Support & Guidance
I have had so much support during the internship. All the staff were extremely helpful and really explained the tasks they wanted me to do, if I needed assistance they would support me too. They were all very open to any questions that I had for them, and gave me great advice for any future career decisions that I will have to make.
Culture
The team in the office were very friendly and helpful. The office atmosphere felt professional yet still an enjoyable place to be. I liked the social events organised by the office as well such as rounders matches with BBQs and group lunches.
Your Impressions
I have really enjoyed the placement with Savills, and it has been very beneficial in solidifying my career options in the future. The team really helped the positive experience of the placement.
Yes
Be yourself, and research Savills to ensure your application is tailored to the company's culture and morals.
