Property and Surveying

Market Overview:
The current Surveying and Property market remains buoyant with significant levels of both Public and Private sector investment leading to a record numbers of registered positions for temporary and permanent professionals.

With a strong portfolio of commercial, industrial, residential, retail and education projects, the demand for experienced Building Surveyors, Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and General Practice Surveyors remains at an all time high. East Anglia’s reputation as a key growth area outside of London can be clearly seen in the wide range of exciting new projects and the continuing shortage of additional new housing throughout East Anglia and the Home Counties.

The strong project growth has contributed towards a drain on resources, with candidates wanting to be involved in high profile schemes. With new projects like the Peterborough Prison, Grand Arcade and CB1 developments in Cambridge and the Thames Gateway housing project planned, to name just a few, the outlook and demand for staff remains highly competitive.

East Anglian Consultancies continue to mirror the national shortage across the UK for good quality professionals, particularly at an intermediate and senior level. Chartered GP surveyors with commercial agency bias, Quantity Surveyors at all levels and competent Project Managers remain in short supply.

Within the Public Sector experienced Planned Maintenance Surveyors with good managerial skills through to competent technical officers are always being sort for permanent and long term contract positions.

As a Client looking to recruit Surveying & Property staff in East Anglia, London or the South our experience suggests that an increased salary alone is not enough to attract recently Chartered Surveyors and the key candidates you may be searching for into considering a career move. Salaries continue to increase and clients are having to consider levels previously reserved for London based employers to attract intermediate and senior level applicants. However, motivation for a career move is just as likely to come from the type of project on offer.

The career promotion prospects, flexible working conditions and overall benefits package that you can offer to potential employees will also play a major factor in your success at recruiting and retaining staff.

In the current market good quality candidates will still end up with a number of interviews and potential offers to consider. Having the flexibility to consider strong candidates that could bring something to your organisation rather than searching for an exact match to your job specifications will bring your company the best results.
