Location: Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Employer: Berrys
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience + discretionary bonus
The Opportunity
Joshua Robert Recruitment is working in partnership with Berrys, an independent, multi-disciplinary property consultancy, to appoint a Senior Valuation Surveyor to its established Shrewsbury team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Chartered Surveyor and RICS Registered Valuer looking for greater autonomy, a varied commercial valuation caseload and clear opportunities for professional development.
With an established flow of instructions from lender panels, private banks and charity clients, the successful candidate will join a collaborative team with experienced technical support already in place.
The role offers a balance of independent responsibility and wider team collaboration, with a focus on delivering high-quality valuations rather than simply increasing volume.
The Role
Working from Berrys' Shrewsbury office, you will undertake commercial and residential valuations across the West Midlands and surrounding counties.
Commercial valuation will be the primary focus, covering a diverse range of property assets including retail premises, industrial and warehouse buildings, mixed-use properties, care homes, converted rural buildings and larger public sector assets.
Instructions will predominantly relate to secured lending, alongside taxation, probate, charity and portfolio valuation requirements.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Undertaking property inspections, researching comparable evidence and preparing valuation reports in accordance with RICS standards.
- Managing an established caseload of commercial and residential valuation instructions.
- Taking responsibility for and signing off your own valuation reports.
- Maintaining strong professional relationships with existing clients, including lenders, private banks and charity legacy managers.
- Providing peer review and technical support to colleagues, including those working towards professional qualifications.
- Developing professional relationships and identifying opportunities for additional valuation instructions.
The position involves regular travel for inspections, with the support of experienced valuers both locally and across Berrys' wider business.
About You
We are looking for a technically capable, commercially aware valuation surveyor who enjoys delivering quality work and building lasting professional relationships.
Ideally, you will offer:
- MRICS or FRICS qualification, with RICS Registered Valuer status.
- At least three years' post-qualification experience, although flexibility exists for candidates approaching the stage of signing off their own valuations.
- Strong commercial property valuation experience, particularly secured lending valuations.
- Confidence undertaking residential valuations for lending and other purposes.
- Excellent report-writing skills, attention to detail and professional judgement.
- The ability to manage your own workload and diary independently.
- Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative approach to working with colleagues and clients.
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for inspections.
Applications are welcomed from valuers working within national consultancies, independent regional practices or specialist valuation teams.
