Rural Surveyor
North Yorkshire | Client-Side
Permanent | Hybrid Working | Excellent Benefits
Are you a Chartered Rural Surveyor looking for the opportunity to move client-side and work across a diverse and fascinating rural property portfolio?
I'm working with a major national landowner looking to appoint a Rural Surveyor to join its established Land & Estates team, covering a portfolio across North Yorkshire.
This is a varied position, combining traditional estate management and landlord & tenant work with the opportunity to become involved in environmental land management, conservation, woodland, access and longer-term estate strategy.
Rather than focusing purely on fee-earning, you'll have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with tenants and stakeholders and help influence how a significant rural portfolio is managed for the future.
The Opportunity
Working alongside experienced estate and property professionals, you'll provide practical rural surveying advice across a varied portfolio.
Your work is likely to include:
- Agricultural landlord & tenant matters
- Management of agricultural tenancies and other occupational agreements
- Commercial lettings and wider estate management
- Agri-environment and land management schemes
- Woodland creation and management
- Access, easements, wayleaves and rights over land
- Boundary and other property-related matters
- Restrictive covenants and title issues
- Occasional acquisitions and disposals
- Providing technical property advice to colleagues across the wider organisation
- Building strong relationships with tenants, landowners and other stakeholders
About You
I'm keen to speak with Rural Surveyors who have a good grounding in rural estate management, agriculture and landlord & tenant work, coupled with an interest in the changing demands being placed upon rural land.
Ideally, you will:
- Be MRICS qualified, preferably through the Rural pathway
- Have experience within rural estate management or professional rural surveying
- Understand agricultural tenancies and wider landlord & tenant matters
- Have knowledge of land management, agriculture and rural property
- Have an interest in conservation, sustainability and environmental land management
- Be confident dealing with tenants and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
- Have strong negotiation, communication and problem-solving skills
- Be comfortable working autonomously while being part of a wider multidisciplinary team
Why Consider It?
For someone currently working within a rural consultancy, this could be a particularly interesting opportunity to move client-side without losing the variety of traditional rural surveying.
You’ll benefit from:
- A diverse and unusual rural property portfolio
- A balance of traditional estate management and emerging land-use work
- Greater involvement in longer-term decision-making rather than purely fee-earning instructions
- Close working relationships with tenants and other rural stakeholders
- Exposure to environmental and conservation-led projects
- A collaborative team of property and land professionals
- Hybrid working, balancing home, office and time out on the estate
