• Value Addition: Identify and capitalise on opportunities to add value, including undertaking in-house development appraisals.
• Asset Repositioning: Strategically refurbish and redevelop assets to align with market demands and increase profitability.
• Tenant Relations: Build and maintain strong relationships with tenants, ensuring high levels of satisfaction and retention.
• Collaborative Management: Partner with in-house teams on health and safety, day-to-day property management, tenant liaison, and estate maintenance.
• Service Charge Management: Work with the accounts team to manage service charge budgets and expenditures effectively.
• Performance Reporting: Prepare and present insightful quarterly performance reports to the Board of Directors, highlighting achievements and strategic plans.

1. Degree in Real Estate: RICS accredited degree in Real Estate or similar.
2. RICS Membership: Ideally 0-2 years PQE, with proven expertise in general practice.
3. Experience: Background in a general practice discipline, or lease consultancy with a strong track record of success.
4. Skills: Excellent interpersonal, organisational, and time management skills, with a keen commercial acumen.
5. Mindset: A proactive, market-aware individual with the drive to succeed and contribute to a high-performing team.

What's In It For You:
