The Opportunity
Are you looking to start a professional career in real estate, and to be paid while you get qualified? Do you enjoy meeting people, building relationships and working in a fast-paced environment?
This is an exciting opportunity to join Hurford Salvi Carr, one of Central London's most established independent estate agencies, as a Property Apprentice.
Unlike many office-based roles, this position offers a varied and hands-on working environment. You will spend time out and about across London, meeting applicants, accompanying property viewings and learning every aspect of the lettings and property management industry.
Working alongside experienced property professionals, you will gain a 360-degree understanding of the residential property sector, with exposure to lettings, tenancy progression, customer service, compliance and property management. Throughout your apprenticeship, you will receive structured training and support, with the long-term goal of progressing into a permanent role within our Lettings or Property Management teams.
You will learn while earning in one of London's most dynamic property markets, gaining exposure to some of the capital's most distinctive homes, from historic warehouse conversions to luxury penthouses.
The role is complemented by the TACS Advanced Level 3 Apprenticeship in Housing & Property Management, allowing you to gain a recognised qualification whilst earning and developing valuable industry experience.
What We're Looking For
The successful candidate will demonstrate:
· A positive attitude and willingness to learn
· Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
· A genuine interest in property and customer service
· Strong organisational and time-management skills
· Confidence when speaking with clients and colleagues
· A proactive approach to problem-solving
· Enthusiasm, motivation and a strong work ethic
· The ability to work both independently and as part of a team
No previous property experience is required. We are looking for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn and a genuine interest in developing a long-term career within the property industry.
A driving licence is not required for this role.
Key Responsibilities
· Registering new applicants, understanding their requirements and accurately recording information on the company's systems.
· Responding to enquiries, building relationships with applicants and assisting with the booking and coordination of property viewings.
· Accompanying experienced Lettings Negotiators on viewings and, as your confidence and knowledge develop, conducting viewings independently.
· Assisting with tenancy progression, preparing tenancy files and ensuring all documentation is completed in accordance with company procedures
· Providing administrative support to the lettings team, including record keeping, data entry and diary management.
· Learning about key areas of industry legislation and regulatory compliance, including Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, Right to Rent requirements and Data Protection legislation
· Communicating effectively with colleagues across all departments to ensure a high level of customer service.
· Work with our Property Management team to understand property maintenance and real-time problem-solving.
· Assisting with marketing activities, including requesting customer testimonials, arranging property marketing materials, distributing promotional literature and supporting local canvassing initiatives.
