The Opportunity
An established and highly regarded firm of Chartered Surveyors with over 100 years of history are seeking a Surveyor & Registered Valuer to join their growing team in Northamptonshire.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business with a notorious reputation for quality, integrity, and client care, where surveyors benefit from a genuine breadth of professional work and strong internal support.
The firm operates across general real estate, specifically the residential and commercial sectors, delivering a broad range of work and varied caseload that enables surveyors to maintain and expand their professional expertise across surveying and valuations as a whole.
The Role: Genuine Variety of Work
You will undertake a diverse range of professional instructions, including:
- RICS Home Surveys (Level 2 & Level 3)
- Bespoke Building Surveys
- Red Book Valuations
- Probate & Matrimonial Valuations
- Help to Buy & Shared Ownership
- Specialist lender panel work
- Housing association and corporate client instructions
This is not a volume-driven corporate valuation role. Instead, the position offers a balanced portfolio of professional surveying and valuation work, allowing you to develop and refine expertise across general practice disciplines.
