Hastings Borough Council is looking for a commercially aware Estates Surveyor to join our Property and Commercial Assets team.

This is an opportunity to manage a varied portfolio of commercial and operational property, with direct involvement in rent reviews, lease renewals, valuations, acquisitions and disposals. You will be able to make professional recommendations, influence the Council’s approach to asset management and see the impact of your work across Hastings.

We welcome applications from experienced Estates Surveyors and property professionals who are working towards further RICS accreditation.

About the role

As our Estates Surveyor, you will help manage the Council’s land and property portfolio, protect its interests and maximise the financial and community value of its assets.

Your work will include:

• Managing commercial property assets and landlord and tenant matters.

• Negotiating rent reviews, lease renewals, lettings and other property transactions.

• Supporting the acquisition and disposal of land and property.

• Undertaking property inspections and valuations.

• Providing professional property advice to support operational and strategic decisions.

• Leading or contributing to property and asset management projects.

• Working closely with tenants, consultants, solicitors, Council services, elected members and other stakeholders.

• Contributing to the Council’s Asset Management Strategy and associated initiatives.

You will work alongside experienced property professionals and have exposure to a broad range of estate management activities. This makes the role suitable for someone who can already manage their own caseload or an established property professional looking to broaden their experience and progress towards further professional accreditation.
