DesbruslaisChartered Surveyor

Company overview

Desbruslais Chartered Surveyors is a small practice specialising in the field of pre-purchase condition surveys of residential property. The company has an exceptional reputation and is regularly recommended by solicitors and estate agents operating at the premium market. The majority of our work is carried out in the Home Counties, with particular emphasis on high-value property in both central London and in the country.

Last year the practice carried out over 650 private surveys, many on period and listed buildings, multi-million pound central London homes, country estates, as well as traditional suburban flats and houses.

The practice currently enjoys an average fee per survey of nearly £1000.

The role overview

The successful applicant will be home-based, an excellent communicator and will carry out pre-purchase surveys of mainly on residential property throughout the south-east. 

Day-to-day activities

Surveyors are rarely expected to carry out more than once survey a day unless there is an obvious geographical convenience, and in the case of larger property, additional time is set aside for report writing. In some instances, surveys are carried out jointly with other surveyors. As this is a home-based role, there are no set hours and the surveyor's appointments can be arranged to suit home life, provided a minimum fee income target is reached. The surveyor is not expected to generate business, the company will provide all the necessary work in this respect, but good business development skills will be rewarded. On occasion, employees are invited to join marketing and business development activities, and will be fully supported by the marketing team.

The Successful Candidate

The ideal candidate will be a Chartered Building Surveyor with experience in the residential sector, probably Sussex based, preferably near Brighton or along the A23 corridor.  They will have experience of pre-purchase surveys in the residential field, and may also have been involved in past project work, with an insight into typical building defects. Experience, however, is not essential as full support and training can be provided for the right candidate.

The salary package including bonus is in the region of £50,000 to £60,000, above average for the region. 

CVs are welcome from less experienced applicants with drive and ambition, where a salary reflecting the level of experience and qualification can be discussed.  Training will be provided. There will be plenty of opportunity to progress as the company continues to grows.

Holiday entitlement is 25 days a year plus bank holidays.
