Are you an experienced Surveyor ready to take the next step in consulting?
We’re looking for a commercially minded Senior Surveyor to join our Business Rates team in London. This is an exciting opportunity to combine your property expertise with the fast-paced world of rating consultancy — helping clients navigate complex assessments, reduce liabilities and unlock value across their real estate portfolios.
Why This Role?
Business Rates is a specialist area at the heart of property, valuation and advisory services — making it a compelling career path for Surveyors who enjoy technical analysis, client interaction and delivering tangible financial outcomes. You’ll bring a strong understanding of commercial property and valuation principles, alongside the confidence to advise clients in a highly consultative environment. That combination is exactly what sets great rating professionals apart.
The Role
As a Senior Surveyor in our Business Rates team, you’ll work with a wide-ranging portfolio of clients to provide expert rating advice, manage appeals and help businesses minimise their Business Rates exposure. Day to day you’ll be:
Reviewing rating assessments and property data to identify opportunities for savings and challenge
Managing Business Rates appeals and negotiations with the Valuation Office Agency and other relevant bodies
Advising clients on rating liabilities, reliefs and mitigation opportunities across their property portfolios
Building strong relationships with clients and becoming a trusted advisor on rating matters
Supporting and mentoring junior team members, sharing technical knowledge and best practice
Staying current with legislation, case law and market developments affecting Business Rates
Contributing to high-quality client reports, presentations and recommendations with the professionalism expected in a leading consultancy
What We’re Looking For
MRICS qualified, or working towards qualification, with experience in Business Rates, valuation or broader commercial property
A strong understanding of rating principles and the UK commercial property market
Experience managing appeals, negotiations and client relationships
Commercially aware, client-focused and confident in an advisory role
Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail
A clear communicator who can translate technical matters into practical commercial advice
Ability to manage a busy and varied workload while maintaining high standards of delivery
A collaborative approach and interest in supporting the development of junior colleagues
If you’re technically strong, commercially driven and ready to grow your career in a high-performing consultancy environment, we’d love to hear from you.
