About Burlington Property Group
Burlington Property Group is an ambitious, independently funded land, planning and property developer based in South East London. Our team combines specialist expertise with a proven track record in planning and development.
We work with landowners as partners, building long-term relationships through a straightforward and transparent approach.
As an independently funded business, we can move quickly, think commercially and act decisively, an ideal environment for a driven, results-focused individual to thrive in.
The Role
You will play a key role in identifying, assessing and securing new land opportunities.
This is a research, relationship-building and telephone-based sales role, focused on finding development opportunities, identifying landowners and agents, building relationships and converting opportunities into acquisitions.
Key Responsibilities
- Proactively source land opportunities through outbound calling, direct approaches, agents, and market research
- Build and manage a pipeline of potential development sites, including setting weekly contact targets
- Speak confidently with landowners to explain the financial benefits of selling or developing their land for housing
- Arrange meetings with landowners, agents, and decision-makers for senior team members where appropriate
- Build and maintain positive relationships with landowners, agents, and professional contacts
- Carry out initial assessments of sites, including location, size, and development potential
- Present high-level land appraisals and development concepts to landowners (with training and support)
- Support negotiations by gathering information and assisting with heads of terms
- Keep up to date with local market activity, planning policy changes, and competitor movements
- Accurately record activity, conversations, and progress across multiple opportunities
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
