• Attend networking events, maintain relationships with agents, introducers, and partners

About You

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in property investment, development, or advisory
• Strong understanding of residential and/or mixed-use development in Greater London and the South East
• Confident in running financial appraisals (ideally proficient in Argus or Excel-based modelling)
