general practice surveyor jobs
General practice surveyor jobs deal with all aspects of residential and commercial property in both the private and public sectors. Principal activities are related to valuing, managing and marketing property, and acting as an agent for clients who are purchasing, leasing or selling a property.
After initially working in acquisition, disposal, management and valuation of land and buildings, urban general practice surveyors may specialise in development, investments, rating, planning or consultancy. Consultants may work in private practice, for a business with substantial property holdings, or within a local authority or other public sector organisation, or they may opt for self-employment.
General practice surveyors generally specialise in either commercial or residential property, but the activities involved are mostly similar. Typical activities include: valuing properties by applying expert knowledge and awareness of the local property market; taking accurate measurements of sites and premises; assessing the impact of a major development in terms of economic viability and environmental impact and purchasing land and securing funding.
