Looking to join a close knit, entrepreneurial team with genuine room to grow?
We're partnering with a specialist residential real estate investor to find an experienced Lettings Negotiator for their expanding London portfolio. The group invests in opportunities across Europe, and now has a presence in London which continues to grow. The business is committed to developing real estate that improves local communities.
Since launching the London office they have built a substantial portfolio of serviced apartments, private rental homes and HMOs. The lettings team is made up of a Head of Lettings, four Lettings Negotiators, two Tenancy Progressors, a Lettings Administrator and an Agency Operations Manager, with a shared focus on keeping occupancy and income high across the full letting cycle, from first viewing through to move in and renewal.
