What would I be doing?
Our excellent graduate programme and APC support aims to provide you with the best start and progression opportunities in your professional career as a Chartered Surveyor.

Supporting our experts, you will help prepare accurate compensations costs in line with the compensation code. These could range from the impact on a business or the cost of the loss or relocation of a building, to agricultural crop losses, or valuing the land acquired. Your routine activities will include making and advising on compensation claims and preparing property cost estimates, service of blight notices, negotiation of sale following such, responding to temporary and permanent land occupation notices and claim management, and the closing out of existing claims.
You will be advising clients in advance of statutory notices for compulsory acquisition being served, responding to consultations and dealing with submissions to public inquiry (or similar) for acquiring authorities or for those with affected land owners and will need to staying abreast of local market knowledge and national market sector trends.
