    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    Skills

  • I believe I have definitely learnt and developed new skills over the last 4 weeks by completing numerous different tasks that have really enhanced my knowledge and made me eager to learn more. I have learnt how to find comparable evidence and logging them on Excel, constructing brochures for background research and potential offer proposals, learning how to construct a valuation report and assisting on asset valuations determining the yield adopted for each property.

The Departmental Overviews provided by the Graduate Team was great and has been brilliant for gaining new information and being able to apply this in my 4 week internship and being able to obtain this and apply it to any future experience gained.
