At Lea Hough, we have a passion for property and our team are proud ambassadors for careers in this exciting and varied industry. Here we look at some of the many reasons to consider a career as a Chartered Surveyor.
Great job prospects
Over recent years, there has been a declining number of graduates in the sector. Fewer professionals means more job opportunities; therefore job prospects as a Chartered Surveyor are very good.
Transferrable skills
Becoming a Chartered Surveyor requires developing a wide base of skills. The property industry is diverse and there are lots of opportunities and potential scope within the sector for those with transferable skills. It may therefore be possible to specialise later in your career after working more generally to start with.
Travel and variety
Unlike many professions, being a Chartered Surveyor often involves travelling to properties across the region to undertake surveys and site visits. No two days are ever the same, allowing for variety and interest at every turn. You are not stuck inside in an office every day; it is partly office based and partly out ‘on-site’ looking at interesting buildings.
Join an in-demand industry
Property is, and will always be, needed by individuals, families and businesses and surveying skills will consequently be in demand for years to come. As a Chartered Surveyor, you can grow your career and develop specialisms within it, whilst enjoying excellent pay, benefits and career opportunities.
Set the pace for tech
Technology and innovation within the property industry is developing at a pace so entering the industry now will allow you to develop your skills alongside developing tech, ensuring your skills are future-proofed.
Indulge your passion for property!
As a Chartered Surveyor working within a multi discipline practice, you will encounter properties of all types, shapes and sizes. If you have a passion for property, this career will give you the opportunity to indulge it!
