About FHP
FHP Property Consultants is one of the Midlands’ most respected and active commercial property agencies, with a strong UK presence and a growing national Retail & Leisure platform. Over 35 years, the business has built a reputation as a market leader in commercial property services, known for its personal, no-nonsense and forward-thinking approach.
Its award-winning Retail & Leisure team is one of the leading independent teams in the Midlands. EGi has ranked FHP the most active retail agent in the East Midlands for 15 years, and the 5th most active contributing agent nationally. The team now works across 26 shopping centres and hundreds of retail and leisure properties throughout the Midlands and the North of England.
In 2025 alone, the team completed 324 deals, leased 1.17m sq ft and manages a rent roll of £13m.
Where FHP is Going
FHP’s growth is already well underway. Over the last five years, the Retail & Leisure business has grown significantly, with both turnover and headcount increasing substantially. With work now spanning the Midlands and the North of England, and new instructions continuing to come in, the team needs additional capacity to keep pace.
The Opportunity
FHP is looking for a Retail Agency Surveyor to help drive the next stage of its growth, based in either Nottingham or Birmingham.
This is a role with real ownership from day one. The successful candidate will take on live instructions, with support from experienced members of the team, and work closely with the Head of Retail across high street, shopping centre and roadside retail instructions, as well as property acquisitions.
There is no rigid corporate structure dictating the pace of progression, and there is a clear career path through to Director level for the right person.

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.
The successful candidate will:
- Take responsibility for live high street, shopping centre and roadside retail instructions, as well as property acquisitions.
- Support senior colleagues on instructions, stepping in to drive transactions through to completion.
- Prepare marketing reports and strategies, and work with landlords and occupiers to put deals together.
- Support leasing activity and due diligence on shopping centre and high street instructions.
- Undertake market research, inspections and comparable analysis.
- Identify prospective occupiers and proactively approach the market.
- Handle negotiations and progress transactions through to completion.
- Develop strong client relationships and identify opportunities to win further instructions.
- Build knowledge and relationships across the Midlands, the wider central belt and the North of England.
The Role
The purpose of this role is to add capacity to a busy, high-performing team, taking ownership of live retail and leisure instructions and helping to drive transactions through to completion.
Alongside transactional work, the role carries a genuine business development element, building client relationships and helping to win new instructions.
Success looks like taking ownership of instructions from day one, playing a real part in winning new business, and building a specialist area of expertise and a strong network across the Midlands.

The preferred candidate will have:
- A minimum of 2 years’ commercial property agency experience, with a track record of progressing transactions through to completion
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills
- The confidence to build relationships with landlords, occupiers and other property professionals
- A genuine interest in the Midlands property market, ideally with existing local knowledge
- Retail agency experience, particularly high street and/or shopping centres, would be a strong advantage
- MRICS, or progress towards the APC, would be an advantage
