Residential Building Surveyor – Prime UK Residential Portfolio (Remote)
Location: South Coast / Hampshire
Salary: £60,000 - £75,000 + car allowance + bonus potential
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly regarded, independent surveying consultancy with an exceptional reputation across the UK residential market. Known for delivering premium, detailed surveys on high-value homes, this firm is continuing to expand due to sustained demand and a booming residential sector.
With the UK property market continuing to evolve and demand for high-quality Level 2 & Level 3 surveys increasing, there has never been a better time to position yourself within a business that sits firmly at the quality-led, non-corporate end of the market.
The Role
As a Residential Building Surveyor, you will:
- Undertake Level 2 (Homebuyer) and bespoke Level 3 (Building) surveys across a tailored local patch
- Inspect a diverse portfolio of character, period, and high-value residential properties
- Deliver detailed, client-focused reports with clear, actionable advice
- Build trusted relationships with private clients purchasing some of the UK’s most desirable homes
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.
This is a home-based role, giving you the flexibility to manage your own diary and work in a way that suits your lifestyle.
Why This Role Stands Out
- True Autonomy: You’ll have full control over your workload and schedule; no micromanagement, no rigid structures. Surveyors are trusted professionals, not KPI-driven operatives.
- Remote & Flexible Working: Operate from home, plan your day around site visits, and achieve genuine work-life balance, flexibility is embedded in the culture.
- Real Growth & Progression: This is not a static role. The business is expanding, and there is clear potential to progress into senior or even partnership level positions for ambitious individuals.
- Premium Brand & Reputation: You’ll be joining a firm recognised for its high standards, independence, and technical excellence, with a strong reputation for delivering thorough, unbiased advice to clients.
- A Booming Market: Residential surveying is experiencing sustained demand, with hundreds of active roles nationwide and strong salary growth, reflecting the continued importance of expert advice in property transactions.

Why Make the Move?
If you’re currently in a corporate environment or feeling restricted by volume-driven surveying, this is your chance to step into a role where:
- Quality is prioritised over quantity
- You have full ownership of your work
- You can build a long-term career with real upside
