1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I was part of the Residential Development Sales team where I was able to join meetings on a regular occasion as well as shadow my colleagues on viewings to teach me for the future. As my time at Savills grew I was able to take on my responsibilities and be able to conduct my own viewings and help the team with tasks. I was also able to go to other developments within London and gain knowledge of the market.
