Check qualification and internship history
Computer literacy is required, preferably including spreadsheets and word processing. The circular restricts previous internship participation, with an exception where a former internship was unrelated to the course of study. Read the complete official circular before deciding whether that exception applies.
What the work will teach you
Interns support property research, inspections, valuation-roll work, administration and reporting. It combines desk-based analysis with fieldwork rather than being an office-only data-capture role.
Prepare a property-research example
GraduateRoom’s advice is to revisit a relevant coursework assignment and practise explaining how you selected comparable properties. Describe the evidence, any limitations and your own contribution. Do not present a classroom estimate as a professional valuation or share confidential property information.
A useful practice exercise is to organise a small fictional property dataset into a spreadsheet and check for missing values and inconsistent units. This can help you discuss accuracy and reasoning. It is preparation advice, not a City test or an extra application requirement.
Documents and online application steps
The City asks for certified qualifications, ID and a CV. Use the official form to enter the role and circular number accurately, answer the residence questions and provide the evidence requested.
- Read the pay and qualification conditions together.
The email in the advert is for enquiries only. Sending a CV there does not count as applying.
Questions to clarify before accepting
Because the work includes inspections, ask about fieldwork arrangements, working hours and travel support. Do not assume that a personal vehicle is required or that transport costs are covered: neither is established by the advert reviewed. The City says only shortlisted applicants will be contacted, and no response within six weeks after closing means the application was unsuccessful.
Apply through the official provider
GraduateRoom does not collect applications or select candidates. Details were checked on 21 October 2026; confirm the status and current instructions with the provider before submitting.
