Job Title: Senior Building Surveyor - Prime Central London
Location: Prime Central London / Hybrid Working
Salary: £80,000 - £95,000 base
Working Pattern: Hybrid / Work from Home Flexibility
The Opportunity
My client has built a genuinely differentiated Prime Central London platform spanning brokerage, valuation and advisory across high-value residential property.
Operating across homes valued between £1m and £60m, the business combines deep market penetration with a relationship-led, technology-enabled model. With strong access to PCL agents, wealth managers, private family offices, banks and solicitors, the platform is built around speed, commercial awareness and trusted advisory capability.
The next stage of growth requires the appointment of a senior Building Surveyor who can deliver full Level 3 survey capability while operating as a strategic partner within the business.
This is not a corporate box-ticking role. It is an opportunity to sit alongside the founder, shape standards, influence growth and build something meaningful in Prime Central London.
The Role
You will:
- Undertake Level 3 building surveys across Prime and Super Prime residential property
- Carry out condition reports, pre-purchase surveys and defect investigations
- Diagnose complex building pathology issues and provide clear, commercially sound remedial advice
- Produce high-quality, client-focused reports tailored to UHNW clients
- Advise on Building Regulations, statutory compliance and risk
- Manage instructions from inception to completion with pace and precision
- Liaise with agents, solicitors, banks, wealth managers and private clients
- Support lease enfranchisement work before properties transition into high-value sales and advisory
- Help shape internal processes, reporting standards and quality assurance
- Contribute to the long-term evolution of service lines as the platform expands
You will be client-facing from day one and expected to represent the business with confidence, discretion and authority.
Candidate Profile
Essential
- MRICS (Building Surveying pathway)
- 6-12 years PQE
- Strong Prime Central London residential focus
- Proven Level 3 survey capability
- Excellent technical knowledge of construction, defects and building pathology
- Confident advising high-end private clients
Highly Desirable
- Red Book valuation exposure
- Experience dealing with UHNW clients and complex transactions
- Existing network across agents, solicitors, private banks or family offices
- Technology-literate and comfortable with modern surveying tools
Personal Attributes
Technical competence is a given. What will differentiate you is mindset.
You will be:
- Commercially aware and solutions-led
- Comfortable operating with autonomy
- Energetic and aligned with a founder-led environment
- Relationship-driven rather than process-bound
- Motivated by building and scaling something rather than hiding inside a corporate structure
- Clear, articulate and polished in written and verbal communication
- Discreet, professional and calm under pressure
This role suits someone who wants visibility, influence and long-term alignment - not bureaucracy.
What's On Offer
- £80,000 - £95,000 base salary
- Hybrid working with genuine flexibility
- High-quality Prime Central London instructions (£1m-£60m homes)
- Direct exposure to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients
- The opportunity to shape standards, processes and growth strategy
- Long-term progression potential within a growing Prime platform
This is a rare opportunity for a commercially astute Building Surveyor to step into a senior, high-trust role within a fast-growing Prime Central London advisory platform.
