1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role is both valuation and agency. On the valuation side I do site visits and write up the reports and take photos. On the agency side I make brochures, correspond with clients and show them round properties.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I think the first couple years of the degree course aren’t so relevant to my day to day role at work but most definitely the last few years are. The first years are the building blocks for what is to come though.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are lots of networking events and days where we go and do team building
