This exciting opportunity will be based out of our Cirencester office, where we have more than 25 employees from the rural division. This is truly one of the leading rural surveying practices in the region.
The role will entail a wide variety of valuation and other rural professional services, although you will be based Cirencester, you will also be providing advice to clients throughout the region. As part of Savills you will get to deal with the very best/highest value/quirkiest properties in the UK. You will also have the opportunity to be involved in wider geographic activities supporting some of our national clients as well as multidiscipline projects. We support agile working within the region, enabling you to manage your time effectively.
Whatever the type of property, whether a farm or estate each of our experienced experts has a specialism relating to our clients’ needs. Clients come to us, because we are committed to the business of the countryside.
We are looking for an individual to collaboratively develop our rural professional team across the Central Region. This could be a specialist role for a valuer but we are equally interested in speaking to those with an interest in a blended professional consultancy role around valuation but to include some Estate Management. You will be an effective communicator with a confident and strategic outlook and have experience in a wide range of valuation techniques or an aptitude and interest in developing those. Our services involve valuation for all purposes, trust and estate advice, compulsory purchase compensation work, general landlord and tenant. This requirement arises to replace a Surveyor but we are interested in hearing from a range of potential candidates be they at a more senior level, similar level or with an aspiration to progress and develop their career/ experience.
Our valuation requirement within this role is based around Farms, Estates and residential property in some of the most scenic and high value rural locations. The range of asset type and ownership structures is often diverse and adds a level of interest that is not always available in other property sectors; accordingly, while this role is in our Rural Division, the opportunity does not preclude anyone with commercial valuation experience who is looking for a more diverse role.
At Savills we do not expect that you have all the skills necessary, however we are here to support and guide you. We offer the best career development enabling you to reach your full potential.
