# Property Personnel > Estate Agent Jobs and Property Recruitment ## Posts - [HOW TO BECOME A PROPERTY MANAGER](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-become-a-property-manager/): One of the more hidden roles within the property industry is that of the property manager. Everyone wants to be a negotiator, showing luxury apartments and driving fancy cars, but without the support of a residential property manager, none of that is possible. A residential property management company looks after property portfolios on behalf of its client base, which can range from first-time landlords through to people who rent out hundreds of homes. Typical duties might include advertising properties, finding and vetting tenants, drawing up legal tenancy contracts, checking that tenants are looking after the property, dealing with maintenance and [...] - [A CAREER IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT – IS IT FOR YOU?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/a-career-in-property-management-is-it-for-you/): There are many different roles within the property sector aside from estate agency, one of which is property management. It might not be an area you’ve considered before, so let us help you find out whether a career in property management is for you. The job Property management covers a wide area and the role can be extremely varied, depending on which industry the role is in – but that just means that there are more opportunities out there. You’ll see property manager vacancies within the retail, finance, health, leisure, transport, heritage, education and energy sectors, to name but a [...] - [OUR BEST JOB SEARCH TIPS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/our-best-job-search-tips/): Job hunting is one of those tasks that many of us approach with both trepidation and despondency. It’s hard work, it requires commitment and there’s a chance that it could take a while. Yet it seems odd that we don’t approach it from the other direction, with excitement and anticipation: job hunting could lead us to thrilling opportunities, new challenges and a more handsome salary. At Property Personnel, we believe that being in the right frame of mind is a pre-requisite for successful job hunting, but there’s much more advice out there to help you secure the job of your [...] - [IS ESTATE AGENCY THE RIGHT MOVE FOR YOU?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/is-estate-agency-the-right-move-for-you/): Proactive, driven and ambitious? You could be perfect for estate agency. You love those property shows on television; you think you’d be great at selling homes to the Great British public and you’re quite partial to wearing a suit, right? If you’re not already an estate agent, then you really ought to think about changing your job, as you sound ideal. Okay, speaking a little more seriously, estate agency is an extremely popular career choice and is equally competitive. It’s not all about a love of Phil and Kirstie; there are a great many skills and characteristics that applicants should [...] - [DO I NEED A QUALIFICATION TO BECOME AN ESTATE AGENT?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/do-i-need-a-qualification-to-become-an-estate-agent/): There is a huge debate taking place currently in the employment market: are qualifications actually necessary when applying for a job? Go back ten, maybe even five years and the answer would probably have been a resounding “yes!”  It seemed that gaining that degree / HND / Brownie badge was more important than transferable skills and relevant behaviours. You only got a 2:2? Forget it! Not so any more. With increasing numbers of people boasting armfuls of qualifications, the balance has started to shift; employers are beginning to realise that exam results are not the be-all and end-all, and that [...] - [HOW TO BECOME AN ESTATE AGENT WITH NO EXPERIENCE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-become-an-estate-agent/): We’ve talked at length about what it takes to become an estate agent. Why? It’s one of the most popular career choices at the moment – and with good reason. It’s a unique profession which mixes challenges, targets, great people, emotions and excitement into one job. You can go as far as you like, you will meet fantastic people, you’ll probably have some weird experiences and you’ll get to see some interesting property – it’s quite unlike anything else. As you may have seen from our previous posts, you don’t necessarily have to have a qualification to get into estate [...] - [PROPERTY PERSONNEL CELEBRATES 27TH ANNIVERSARY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/27th-anniversary/): Here at Property Personnel, we’re celebrating our 27th anniversary. The party poppers are out, as are the balloons and cake. We’re taking some time to reflect on everything we’ve achieved in those 27 years, and how much the job market has changed. Since 1988, we’ve lived through no less than three recessions and worked with more than 5,000 different clients. As a result, we’ve successfully placed more than 10,000 candidates in jobs with basic salaries totalling well over £100 million. Not only is Property Personnel looking better than ever, the job market is too. Over the past 27 years, overall [...] - [YOU KNOW YOU’RE AN ESTATE AGENT WHEN…](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/youre-an-estate-agent-when/): Estate Agents receive a lot of stick and much of it unfairly (no, really). After all, they’re the people who risk life and limb to tread into the unknown; enduring fierce animals, strange smells and, in some cases, even stranger vendors.  It’s not always an easy job, but each hurdle (or odour) serves as a type of initiation; you’re not truly an estate agent unless you’ve experienced at least one odd encounter. To prove the point, we asked estate agents across the nation for their own examples and they didn’t disappoint. They told us that you know you’re an estate [...] - [ALL ABOUT ESTATE AGENCY COMMISSION](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/estate-agency-commission/): Although it may not be the most important part of your job search, one of the biggest considerations is ‘how much will I be paid?’ It’s a question we get asked a lot here at Property Personnel and one of the reasons why we published our blog on how much an estate agent earns. Essentially, an estate agent’s earnings are calculated using a commission structure: on a job advert, you’ll see a basic salary and/or an on-target earnings (OTE) projection.  The basic salary is the minimum amount an estate agent will take home; this amount will vary depending on the [...] - [WHY YOU’RE NOT GETTING THE JOB AND HOW TO COMBAT IT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/why-youre-not-getting-the-job/): At school, college and university, the focus is on gaining qualifications that can open doors and help you step into the career of your dreams. However, if this were true, then why are so many young people struggling to secure work in Britain today? Research reveals that 16-24-year olds are three times more likely to be out of work than the remainder of the population; a sorry statistic which is at its highest level for two decades. There are, naturally, many reasons for this; one of which is the fact that people are working longer and retiring later, so there [...] - [SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO? THE BRUTAL TRUTH ABOUT YOUR COUNTER OFFER](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go/): With a shortage of talented candidates on the jobs market and a reluctance from employers to go through the looooong process of recruiting, it is commonplace for businesses to present resigning staff with a counter offer. “What are they giving you? We’ll match it!” is a fairly predictable response from a panicked line manager. For some individuals, no amount of money could keep them at their current employer. Yet for others, this can throw a giant spanner in the works. They probably weren’t expecting their boss to put up a fight to keep them on. Wow, you must be really [...] - [WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT IN MY FIRST WEEK IN A NEW JOB?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/first-week-in-a-new-job/): Congratulations! You got the job, that’s amazing. All that interview preparation worked a treat and they loved you. Yet, as the celebratory fog starts to clear, the nerves return – your first week is fast approaching and you have no idea what to expect. As we mentioned in our Graduates’ Guide to Securing That Job (which you can still download), the first week – crikey, the first day – will be daunting. In which case, let us alleviate that anxiety and share a little insight. Before we do so, there are a few things you should know: You will be [...] - [WHAT DOES A TRAINEE ESTATE AGENT DO?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/trainee-estate-agent/): Homes Under the Hammer, Location, Location, Location, even Grand Designs – TV shows like these have pushed the estate agent to the forefront of British consciousness like never before. Members of this profession are seen weekly; guiding buyers through the process, advising landlords on rental potential and helping vendors make their properties more ‘sellable’. It’s no wonder so many of us fancy it as a job. Of course, that’s not all that an estate agent does; the job is incredibly varied and encompasses many different tasks. The first step into the industry would most likely be as a trainee estate [...] - [HOW TO BECOME A TRAINEE ESTATE AGENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/become-a-trainee-estate-agent/): A career in estate agency is one of the most sought after, and with good reason. It offers progression, great benefits and job satisfaction. No two days will be alike – one moment you could be advising nervous first time buyers about the sales process, the next you might be on Billionaire’s Row valuing a 14-bed mansion. What could be more exciting than marketing hundreds of properties, thriving on the buzz of sales negotiations or enjoying the satisfaction that comes from knowing you helped a family find their dream home? Naturally, it’s a competitive industry and to get that first [...] - [PROPERTY PERSONNEL ANNOUNCES THE PROMOTION OF ALLISON DALRYMPLE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/property-personnel-announces-promotion-allison-dalrymple/): We are delighted to announce that with immediate effect Allison Dalrymple has been promoted to Director of the Lettings & Management Division of Property Personnel. Anthony Hesse, managing director, added that this was a very well-deserved promotion. “Having dedicated 14 years of her working life to Property Personnel, Allison’s unswerving loyalty, along with her consistently high performance levels, year in, year out, made this a very easy decision for me to make.” Allison was delighted with her promotion, adding “to have been given this directorship is a complete honour. I fell in love with recruitment from day one and 14 years [...] - [HOW TO ANSWER THOSE HORRID INTERVIEW QUESTIONS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/answer-horrid-interview-questions/): No one likes interviews. Together with moving house and having a baby, interviews rank highly on that list of things that cause us the most anxiety. Yet when you think about what an interview really is, at its most basic level, there’s no need to be afraid. Essentially, it’s a two-way (and this is the big point which is often forgotten) conversation in which you get to talk about yourself for an hour. If you’ve prepared well, then there shouldn’t be any reason for you to feel anything more than slightly nervous. Okay, we know that’s easier said than done, [...] - [FIVE CHARACTERISTICS YOU NEED TO SURVIVE THE JOB HUNTING PROCESS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/survive-the-job-hunting-process/): The job hunting process is arguably one of the hardest that you’ll ever have to go through – okay, so it’s not having a baby or moving house, but you know what we mean. It’s arduous, exhausting and will prick almost every emotion you possess – yet it needn’t be if you can exhibit a few specific traits. Here are five characteristics you need to survive the job hunting process: Proactiveness Gone are the days where you can mail out speculative CVs and expect an invitation to interview in return; with so many people applying for a finite number of [...] - [ESTATE AGENTS: WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK IN THE INDUSTRY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/estate-agent-work/): According to new figures released by the Office for National Statistics, the number of estate agents in the UK rose by 77,000 between 2012 and 2013 – an incredible number. Demand for housing means that it’s a great time to be in the property industry and unsurprisingly, many people are considering it as a career option. We all have preconceptions about estate agents but the majority of those we actually encounter are pleasant, knowledgeable and extremely helpful when it comes to buying, selling or renting a home. To further dispel those stereotypes, here’s what real estate agents say about working [...] - [HOW TO WRITE THE BEST COVER LETTER](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-write-the-best-cover-letter/): Jobseekers will often spend hours honing their CV, making sure it details all the relevant information, is laid out attractively and contains no spelling or grammar errors. After all this hard work and effort, then, it seems bizarre that decidedly less time is spent on the covering letter. Perhaps this is because there isn’t such a vast library of advice out there for cover letters as there is for CVs. Either way, job hunters who pay little attention to their covering letter do so at their peril, as this could be responsible for the failure of an application – even [...] - ["I SWALLOWED SOME GLASS" AND OTHER INCREDULOUS SICKIE EXCUSES](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/sickie-excuses/): It’s Monday morning, three minutes to nine and the phone begins to ring. Everyone in the office knows what’s coming; a colleague is calling to (cough) say that they’re really poorly and (cough), can’t get out of bed so they won’t be able to make it in today (sniff). Cynicism aside, we do all get ill and it’s far better to recover at home than attempt a woozy commute or risk infecting the team. However, Monday, 7th February is ‘National Sickie Day’ and managers up and down the country are being warned to expect lots of calls from depressed staff [...] - [HOW TO FIND A CAREER DIRECTION AFTER THE POST-UNI SLUMP](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-find-a-career-direction-after-the-post-uni-slump/): Finding a job immediately after finishing uni is no mean feat – as all the countless news stories of graduate unemployment have noted. This is an issue compounded further for those who are still not exactly sure what it is they want to do for a living now their education is well and truly over. It’s understandable, of course. A person’s entire work history up until that point usually comprises of weekend or evening jobs undertaken for the sole reason of helping to pay rent, bills and a bit left over for the student union bar. Not only that, careers [...] - [A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT; A ‘NEWBIE’S’ PERSPECTIVE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/recruitment-consultant/): In this guest blog by Hannah Cuthbert, the newest addition to our team, Hannah describes a typical day in the life of a Recruitment Consultant at Property Personnel: At around 8.15am, my day starts with a mug of tea and a flick through my emails. The majority of them are job applications, but with the odd head hunting email and an invite from LinkedIn. I’m subconsciously looking out for any ‘shining stars’ that have applied to my job adverts: Does anyone fit the profile to fulfil my clients’ expectations? At 8.30am we group for our morning meeting. This gives us [...] - [THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY – FRIEND OR FOE?? HO! HO! HO!](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/office-christmas-party-friend-foe-ho-ho-ho/): As the Christmas season hits full swing, most companies have already booked the venue, or at least are talking about it!  As an employee, surely it is just the logistics to think about; how to get there and back, and what you are going to wear……or is it? Most of us love a good party – food, drink, dancing and socialising – but should you mix business with pleasure? It is a great bonding exercise, and normally at the expense of your employer, so why wouldn’t you go? The evening normally starts off calmly with a pre-dinner drink followed by [...] - [FIVE THINGS YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY GET RIGHT ON YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/five-things-you-must-absolutely-get-right-on-your-linkedin-profile/): Job-seeking has stepped up several notches in the last few years. No longer is a traditional CV enough when trying to reach recruiters and keeping your head well above the competition. These days, the internet plays a huge role in the success – and failure – of a job application. One of the tools that is most widely-used now is professional networking site, LinkedIn. Not only is it a great source of vacancies, it also allows recruiters to get directly in touch with a member if they like what they see on their profile. It is a tool that most, [...] - ['SO TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF...' - HOW TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/so-tell-me-about-yourself-how-to-answer-that-question/): Of all the tricky questions that can trip you up in an interview, the deceptively simple ‘So tell me about yourself…’ is a request that is rarely fretted about, but can have a pretty major impact on how your interviewer sees you. Other questions may say more about your experience and skill, but this one has the potential to reveal plenty about your personality. In an interview situation, everyone is very keen to present themselves as the reliable worker bee, but this facade can slip when faced with questions. Suddenly you are an imperfect human! What are the dangers? Not [...] - [INTERVIEW BLUNDERS TO AVOID](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/interview-blunders-to-avoid/): Ever marched into an unknown office with pure intent? Your mind focused on one thing and one thing only – landing yourself a new job. You’ve polished your CV to the point that it actually glistens under light, prepared answers for every question imaginable and cleaned up every inch of your appearance. Then, through one slight slip, it all goes horribly, horribly wrong. Well, this one’s for you. Small mistakes and slips of the tongue are both part and parcel of the job interview process. Candidates are under immense pressure to be at their very best, which, for those that [...] - [KNOW YOUR AREA - HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERT ON A NEIGHBOURHOOD](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/know-your-area-how-to-become-an-expert-on-a-neighbourhood/): It’s a mantra that every trainee estate agent will be told: you must become an expert on your area. Possessing a comprehensive knowledge of a neighbourhood will instil confidence in those that are buying or selling from you. Plus, being aware of the specific streets that are in demand could put you in a really strong position; allowing you to contact households on a speculative basis. Here are some top tips on how you could become an expert on a neighbourhood… Explore first hand First things first, you need to physically get to know the area so get out there [...] - [SPECIAL REQUESTS: ARRANGING VIEWINGS FOR POTENTIAL TENANTS WITH PETS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/special-requests-arranging-viewings-for-potential-tenants-with-pets/): Research from the Pet Food Manufacturer’s Association shows that in 2012, 48 per cent of UK households had at least one pet. This is the equivalent of 13 million households, many of which will be located in rental properties around the nation. Figures like these almost single-handedly refute the concept that pets must be a landlord’s worst nightmare. While pet owners would love the chance to be able to buy a property that can meet their companions’ requirements, factors like finance or not being settled in a particular location could be getting in the way. That’s why they’ll turn to [...] - [HAUNTED HOUSES: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PROPERTY HAS GHOSTS?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/haunted-houses-what-happens-when-a-property-has-ghosts/): No two house-hunters are ever the same. Some want an open plan living area, others require something more compartmentalised. Some are looking for small flats right in the centre of things, others want a country pile stretching as far as the eye can see. Some people will even spend hours or even days with estate agency personnel making sure their new property isn’t haunted. Yes, haunted. This may seem strange to many, but for some it’s a real concern. Before pouring scorn on those who have such fears that their house is haunted, however, just take a cursory glance back [...] - [PROPERTY PERSONNEL CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/property-personnel-celebrates-25th-anniversary/): Property Personnel started trading 25 years ago this month, so I thought I’d turn the clock back all those years and tell you a little about how things were then, and how different they are now. But before we talk about the business, two of our consultants, Georgina and Hannah, weren’t even twinkles in their parents’ eyes back then! That alone makes me feel old! In 1988, if you were privileged enough to have a mobile phone it was the size of a brick, with an equally long aerial. Calls were about £1 per minute, so you didn’t spend long [...] - [HOW TO PUT TOGETHER YOUR PROPERTY CV](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-put-together-your-property-cv/): Take a look at the updated version of this guide. Find out our latest CV advice by reading the new version of this guide – Writing your CV. If you’re looking to land a job in property, the first thing you’ll need to do is prove to the employer that you’re the best candidate for the role. Their initial perceptions will be based on the information you supply right at the start, so it’s important to ensure your CV pushes all the right buttons. Now, because property is such a competitive field to move into, you must display a passion for working in this particular area. Just tweaking an existing [...] - [SETTING CAREER GOALS: HOW AND WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/career-goals-guide/): Are you feeling stagnant in your career, standing still while everyone else is advancing? Are you confused about what your next steps look like, your aims, and what you may want to be doing in the future? If these are familiar feelings, creating a career plan outlining several short and long-term career goals could be the perfect way to help you take control of your career and get you back on track. Read on to find out why you should set career goals, and how you can go about creating your own. Why should you set career goals? As stated [...] - [WHY THE NEXT GENERATION’S FEAR OF PHONE CALLS IS COSTING THEM JOBS IN ESTATE AGENCY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/why-the-next-generations-fear-of-phone-calls-is-costing-them-jobs-in-estate-agency/): In today’s fast-moving, digitally driven world, communication habits are evolving at pace. Text messages, emails, WhatsApp, and social media have become the default, particularly for younger generations entering the workforce. While these tools bring convenience and efficiency, they are also quietly reshaping how people interact professionally. From a recruitment agency’s perspective, especially within residential estate agency, this shift is beginning to create a noticeable and concerning gap. Increasingly, we are seeing candidates who are reluctant to engage over the phone, and in an industry where verbal communication is fundamental, this hesitation is directly impacting their job prospects. The shift in [...] - [RENTERS’ RIGHTS BILL - SURVEY FINDINGS OVERVIEW - PROPERTY PERSONNEL](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/renters-rights-bill-survey-findings-overview-property-personnel/): We recently distributed a survey to lettings businesses across the country and were delighted by the strong response. We have since analysed the data and compiled an overview of the key insights below.  The findings point to an industry in transition rather than full transformation. While there is widespread acknowledgement that change is coming, most agencies remain in a review phase rather than actively implementing new strategies. Nearly half of respondents (49%) are currently reviewing their commission structures, yet only 16% have made firm decisions, with a further 8% unsure how they will respond. Commission models continue to rely heavily [...] - [25 QUESTIONS FOR 25 YEARS IN PROPERTY RECRUITMENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/25-questions-for-25-years-in-property-recruitment/): An Interview with Allison Dalrymple: How things have changed in property recruitment since 2001…   1. What was your job title when you first started? Recruitment Consultant.   2.What year did you begin and what do you remember most about that first week? 2001 – complete information overload. Learning how people behave, how to read between the lines and what to really listen for, not just what was being said!   3.What did a “normal” working day look like back then? 8.30am morning meeting Check the one office computer for emails Open the post for CV’s Check fax machine Calls [...] - [25 YEARS IN PROPERTY RECRUITMENT - ALLISON DALRYMPLE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/25-years-in-property-recruitment-allison-dalrymple/): At just 24 years old, having already spent six years working in estate agency, I joined Property Personnel as a recruiter focusing on the lettings and property management division. At the time, sales recruitment was very much the core focus of the business. Lettings sat alongside it and accounted for around a third of PP’s income. With my background firmly rooted in estate agency and lettings, it felt like a natural fit and I very quickly fell in love with recruitment. In my first role as an estate agent, I was fortunate to have an exceptional mentor who taught me [...] - [FINDING YOUR PERFECT MATCH IN RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AGENCY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/finding-your-perfect-match-in-residential-estate-agency/): February has a funny way of making us think about compatibility. About what fits. About whether we’re settling, or genuinely excited about what we’ve chosen. While Valentine’s Day is usually reserved for roses and restaurant bookings, it’s also a surprisingly good moment to think about another long-term relationship in your life: your job. Because in residential estate agency, finding the right role isn’t just about salary or job title. It’s about alignment, values, pace, and personality. That feeling of ‘this works’. It’s not about any job; it’s about the right one Estate agency is often misunderstood from the outside. People [...] - [WHY CLIENT INTERVIEW FEEDBACK MATTERS FOR CANDIDATES AND RECRUITERS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/why-client-interview-feedback-matters-for-candidates-and-recruiters/): In the fast-paced and highly competitive world of residential estate agency, people are everything. From front-line negotiators building client relationships, to property managers maintaining relationships, to branch managers driving performance, the success of an agency depends on having the right individuals in the right roles. Recruitment in this sector is not just about filling vacancies quickly. It’s about finding professionals who can build trust with vendors and landlords, negotiate confidently, manage pressure, and represent the agency brand to the highest standard. Yet one critical element of the hiring process is often underestimated or overlooked altogether: interview feedback. Whether it’s feedback [...] - [A RECRUITMENT OUTLOOK FOR ESTATE AGENCY IN 2026 – BY ANTHONY HESSE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/a-recruitment-outlook-for-estate-agency-in-2026-by-anthony-hesse/): As we look ahead to 2026, I wanted to share my perspective on what the recruitment landscape for estate agents and related property businesses is likely to look like over the next 12 months and, importantly, how forward-thinking firms can position themselves to succeed within it. It will come as no surprise that recruiting good-quality people at all levels will remain competitive, and in many cases more so than we’ve seen for some time. However, for businesses prepared to act decisively, there are also clear opportunities. The experience gap, and why it matters Following last year’s increases in the National [...] - [IS YOUR PREFERRED RECRUITMENT AGENCY A MEMBER OF THE RECRUITMENT & EMPLOYMENT CONFEDERATION (REC)? IF NOT, WHY NOT?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/is-your-preferred-recruitment-agency-a-member-of-the-recruitment-employment-confederation-rec-if-not-why-not/): What is the REC and why does it matter? The Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) is the UK’s leading professional body for recruitment. Membership isn’t automatic; agencies must meet defined standards, pass compliance checks, and commit to an ongoing Code of Professional Practice. In simple terms, REC membership demonstrates a clear commitment to legal compliance, ethical behaviour, and professional standards. When choosing a recruitment partner, most organisations naturally focus on speed, sector expertise, and cost. One important consideration that’s sometimes overlooked is: Is your recruitment agency a member of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC)? REC membership isn’t just a [...] - [IT’S TIIIIIME TO START HIRING FOR 2026 – A FESTIVE REMINDER FOR EMPLOYERS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/its-tiiiiime-to-start-hiring-for-2026-a-festive-reminder-for-employers/): The festive slowdown and the hidden opportunity The tinsel is being hung across reception desks, chocolates mysteriously appear in branch kitchens, and someone in the team has already started debating when it’s officially acceptable to play Mariah Carey. December has arrived, and as the atmosphere begins to soften, something else happens too…recruitment activity slows down. Teams begin wrapping up the year, reviewing budgets and performance, writing their final reports, and planning their festive lunches. It’s when the industry naturally takes stock, and most employers assume it’s not the time to hire. But that’s exactly why this moment is one of [...] - [ESSENTIAL SKILLS EVERY ASPIRING ESTATE AGENT NEEDS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/essential-skills-every-aspiring-estate-agent-needs/): If you’ve ever watched an estate agent in full flow, it can look effortless. The smooth property tours, the confident negotiations, the ability to make even the most nervous first-time buyer feel at ease. But behind every successful agent is a set of finely tuned skills that take time, practice, and a lot of persistence to master. In the 37 years that Property Personnel has been in business, we’ve met hundreds, if not thousands, of agents at every stage of their careers, from fresh trainees with huge enthusiasm, to seasoned pros who have seen it all. While their personalities and [...] - [GHOSTED BY THE CLIENT: THE NEW HORROR STORY IN RECRUITMENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/ghosted-by-the-client-the-new-horror-story-in-recruitment/): Last year, recruiters everywhere were swapping spooky tales about candidates who disappeared without a trace. Interviews were booked, offers were made, and then…poof! Silence. One day they were there, the next, gone. Recruiters were left clutching their phones, wondering if they’d imagined the whole thing. However, this year, the plot twist no one saw coming. It’s now the clients who are doing the ghosting! Across the industry, recruiters are reporting eerie silences after submitting handpicked candidates. Once “urgent” roles have vanished into thin air. Follow-up emails disappear into the void. Phone calls go unanswered. It’s enough to make even the [...] - [WHY SPEED IS THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IN PROPERTY RECRUITMENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/why-speed-is-the-secret-to-success-in-property-recruitment/): If you’ve worked in the UK residential property sector for more than five minutes, you already know one thing: speed matters! Whether you’re running an estate agency in London or a lettings and management office in the Southeast, your ability to hire quickly can make the difference between thriving and just surviving. In such a competitive market, delays don’t just slow things down, they cost you talent, money, and reputation. Speed isn’t optional, it’s a strategic advantage. Top talent won’t wait around The property sector is full of ambitious, skilled professionals, but here’s the catch: the very best negotiators, property [...] - [THE NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE: ARE YOU UNKNOWINGLY BREAKING THE LAW?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/the-national-minimum-wage-are-you-unknowingly-breaking-the-law/): The National Minimum Wage: Are you unknowingly breaking the law? Some estate agency employers are at risk of falling foul of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) without realising it, either through miscalculation or outdated pay structures. As a reminder, from 1st April 2025, the NMW rates were raised significantly to the following: £12.21 per hour for those aged 21 and over, £10.00 per hour for 18–20-year-olds and £7.55 per hour for apprentices and under-18s. Why estate agents should be concerned With frontline sales and lettings roles having historically been built around a modest basic salary topped up with commission, the [...] - [SO, YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ESTATE AGENT? HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW…](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/so-you-want-to-become-an-estate-agent-heres-what-you-should-know/): Estate agency has long been a go-to career choice for young adults looking to take their first step into the world of work, and we get it. Let’s face it, the idea of getting out of the office, meeting new people, and checking out beautiful homes all day does sound very exciting, doesn’t it? But before you dive in headfirst, it’s important to understand what the job really involves, especially in your first year or two. As property recruitment specialists, we speak to hundreds of aspiring estate agents every year and, more and more, we find ourselves needing to help [...] - [YOU KNOW YOU'RE A PROPERTY RECRUITER WHEN...](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/you-know-youre-a-property-recruiter-when/) - [We're Live!

On behalf of us all at Property Personnel, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your support during 2024 and to not only reflect on the past 12 months, but also predict what we think might lie ahead this year. The feedback from most of our clients was that 2024 was another challenging year, though with the general election and budget now done and dusted, further interest rate reductions predicted, and inflation at more manageable levels, confidence appears to be building. Indeed, many of you are forecasting [...] - [ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS...IS A NEW JOB!](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-a-new-job/): It’s that time of year again! Mariah Carey has been defrosted, the kids are as high as kites on chocolate Santa’s and candy canes, the cat has knocked the Christmas baubles off the tree for the 100th time this week, and you’re running out of places to hide presents! It’s such a magical time of year, isn’t it?! Haha! Whilst the world is filled with excitement and Christmas cheer, December is also a time where people can start to feel unsettled in their professional lives. Maybe you didn’t get that promotion you were hoping for, or the pay rise / [...] - [MEET THE TEAM - ANTHONY HESSE - MANAGING DIRECTOR](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/meet-the-team-anthony-hesse-managing-director/): At Property Personnel we’re firm believers that the secret to our success is down to our fantastic team.

You don’t really know your recruiter. They aren’t your friend or a family member. You may not have met them in the flesh or even seen them over a Zoom call. Surely, if you change your mind about your job search it’s easier just to avoid, block and forget they exist…or maybe not? As recruiters, we have heard it all. It used to be the case that we would receive an email or [...] - [MEET THE TEAM - CHARLOTTE O'HANLON - SENIOR RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/meet-the-team-charlotte-ohanlon-senior-recruitment-consultant/): At Property Personnel we’re firm believers that the secret to our success is down to our fantastic team.

The negative ramifications of an unprofessional or insensitive online presence can be highly detrimental. It is now more important than ever to make sure that your online profile presents you positively. Please read on to discover our top tips to ensure your online presence helps, not hurts, your career ambitions. Google yourself: The first piece of advice that we always give is to do an online search of your first and last name to [...] - [WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A CAREER IN ESTATE AGENCY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/why-you-should-consider-a-career-in-estate-agency/): Have you been wondering if estate agency is the right career for you, but perhaps been put off by all the talk of low salaries, long hours, and weekend work? Then, you might want to read on, because there have been some big changes made recently within the sector to attract new talent! So, what is required to commence a career in estate agency? The good news is that you don’t need a specific qualification or university degree to get into estate agency, and if further education is not for you, then you could even sign up to a relevant [...] - [HOW TO ACE AN ONLINE INTERVIEW](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-ace-an-online-interview/): If you have changed jobs at any time since March 2020, there’s a good chance that at least one of your interviews will have taken place online using the likes of Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meets. Indeed, the whole interview process pretty much changed overnight when Covid first hit. However, less than two months after the initial UK lockdown, the housing market was re-opened, and estate agents were able to return to their places of work. As a result, there were still roles to fill in this sector, meaning employers had to quickly find a new way of interviewing [...] - [CHARLOTTE PROMOTED TO SENIOR RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/charlotte-promoted-to-senior-recruitment-consultant/): We are thrilled to announce that long-term Property Personnel team member, Charlotte O’Hanlon, has been promoted to the role of Senior Recruitment Consultant.

She was instantly likeable, driven, and it was obvious that she would [...] - [35 YEARS OF PROPERTY PERSONNEL](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/35-years-of-property-personnel/): We recently celebrated our 35th birthday at Property Personnel. Whilst the world of work is a very different place today to when we first opened our doors, we have seen more changes in the last 3 years than in the previous 32! But, before we talk about these changes, it is terrifying to note that most of our job seekers, and even some of our clients, weren’t even born when we started up the business. Indeed, our colleagues Charlotte, Georgina, and Maddie, weren’t even a twinkle in their parents’ eyes back then, and my co-director Allison was still playing hopscotch [...] - [RECRUITING AND RETAINING MILLENNIALS & GENERATION Z](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/recruiting-and-retaining-millennials-generation-z/): Millennials and Generation Z: The facts show that they are the most essential but evasive group of professionals in the workplace today. In his latest blog, Anthony Hesse offers some tough love to employers about how to recruit and retain them. And an advance warning – the offer of biscuits, beanbags and pool tables just isn’t going to cut it anymore… When it comes to recruiting the best talent, the emphasis in recent years has been on the candidates doing the hard work. After all, they’re the ones who are enthusiastically seeking the position, and you’re the one generously offering [...] - [THE PERFECT MATCH: WHY RECRUITMENT AGENCIES AND TALENT ACQUISITION TEAMS SHOULD WORK TOGETHER](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/the-perfect-match-why-recruitment-agencies-and-talent-acquisition-teams-should-work-together/): Working together: the secret weapon to building a quality workforce. American industrialist and business magnate Henry Ford was a remarkable man. Besides founding the Ford Motor Company and developing the assembly line technique of mass production, he also created the first car that middle-class Americans could afford, and in doing so transformed transport in the 20th century. In addition, he was a passionate believer in teamwork – as this quote attributed to him indicates: “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” As one of the UK’s leading property recruitment consultancies, we’d whole-heartedly like to [...] - [HOW TO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE AN INTERVIEW](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-do-your-research-before-an-interview/): “So, what do you know about us?” Here are our top tips for answering this age-old interview question: Let’s face it: job interviews are stressful. There are good reasons for this: they are often important milestones in your life, you don’t know what questions are going to be asked in advance, and by taking part you are putting yourself and your abilities under the spotlight. But there’s something you can do prior to every interview which will impress your interviewer and increase your chances of success – and that’s to do your research. This means you should find out as much [...] - [WORKING FROM HOME - THE NEW NORMAL, OR THE NOW NORMAL?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/working-from-home-the-new-normal-or-the-now-normal/): A trio of current events have created a “perfect storm” that has pushed the issue of Working from Home (WFH) to the top of the estate agency hiring agenda. The situation is now so critical that employers not prioritising the issue will fail to secure or retain the very best candidates. Firstly, as the Office of National Statistics confirmed last week, job vacancies have risen to record levels. This means that candidates are being particularly picky about which roles they go for, and employers are having to compete with each other to offer the most attractive working conditions. Secondly, the [...] - [STRUGGLING TO FIND STAFF? YOU'RE NOT ALONE. HERE IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY...](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/struggling-to-find-staff-youre-not-alone-here-is-one-of-the-reasons-why/): Struggling to find staff? Well, if it makes you feel any better, you’re not alone. However, the latest official data on UK job vacancy figures released by the Office for National Statistics won’t make encouraging reading. Vacancies increased from 1,238,000 in Q4 2021 to 1,288,000 in Q1 2022. This was more than double the number of vacancies over the same period in 2021 (+105.8%), and +56.5% higher than the volume of vacancies seen just prior to the outbreak of the pandemic in Q1 2020. In fact, this is the highest rise since the ONS started collecting this data in 2001. [...] - [DITCHING THE OVEN GLOVES FOR RUNNING SHOES - MY LOCKDOWN ONE YEAR ON](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/ditching-the-oven-gloves-for-running-shoes-my-lockdown-one-year-on/): It’s been exactly a year since the team at Property Personnel and I packed up our desks and set up at home. I don’t think any of us thought that 12 months later the desks in our office would still be left unoccupied. It’s been a year of ups and downs for us all, there have been moments of difficulty and isolation from the world but regardless of this I have certainly learnt to enjoy the little things in life, and I feel very lucky to have such great family and friends. Like most businesses, we noticed that towards the [...] - [LIFE IN LOCKDOWN - MY EXPERIENCE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/life-in-lockdown-my-experience/): After saying goodbye to my colleagues at the office on 17th March 2020, I honestly thought I would be seeing them again in a few weeks’ time. I was in total denial that the world was about to be locked down and life as we knew it would change drastically. In the beginning, we were working from home and trying to make our workdays as normal as possible, so we continued our daily morning meetings and made sure we were checking in on each other. However, it wasn’t long before we really started to miss being in the office together [...] - [MY HIGHS AND LOWS OF A YEAR IN LOCKDOWN](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/my-highs-and-lows-of-a-year-in-lockdown/): I don’t know about you, but I definitely thought we would be back to normal by now. When I look back at the last year, I cannot believe we’ve been living with this intrusion into our everyday lives for so long! Here we are, into our third national lockdown, and although we’ve done it twice before, this one has definitely hit the hardest in the Eastwood household. Not only are we frankly bored of the whole situation, but I am also now having to juggle home schooling my 4 (almost 5) year old, and working at the same time, whilst [...] - [TUESDAY 17TH MARCH 2020 – THE DAY PANIC SET IN!](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/tuesday-17th-march-2020-the-day-panic-set-in/): I was very dismissive when friends and colleagues were worried about what was emerging in Wuhan: In my mind there was no way it could end up in the UK and I genuinely thought people were overreacting! As news came through that people were being infected in the UK, and that the numbers were rising rapidly, my nerves took over. My youngest son has a complex heart condition and at that stage we had no idea if he would be in the high-risk category and I was not prepared to take the risk. On the 17th March 2020 I packed [...] - [ESTATE AGENCIES MUST BE MORE TOLERANT OF STAFF DOING HOME SCHOOLING](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/estate-agencies-must-be-more-tolerant-of-staff-doing-home-schooling/): We are calling on estate agencies to be more tolerant of the struggles working parents are encountering during lockdown. Employers need to be aware that school closures have put enormous pressures on parents with children at home and ensure appropriate measures are in place to treat them sympathetically. The impact of the closure of schools has been like a meteor strike on the daily lives of working parents. They suddenly find themselves in a ‘sandwich sector’ of employees – trapped between the requirements of work on the one hand and childcare on the other. As anyone who has attempted it [...] - [HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO TOP CANDIDATES](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-choose-between-two-top-candidates/): Your business has a fantastic property role to fill. You’ve pored over CVs, identified the best candidates, carried out interviews, maybe even second interviews too, and now you’ve narrowed the field to two final contenders. The problem is that your top two candidates are both equally qualified, equally experienced and equally suitable for the job, so much so that you’re not sure how to choose between them. As problems go, it’s not a bad one for an employer to have, but ensuring you make the right decision can still leave you in a quandary. If you find yourself with two [...] - [WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO I NEED TO BE A LETTING AGENT?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/what-qualifications-do-i-need-to-be-a-letting-agent/): The role of a letting agent is diverse and enriching. While there are currently no formal qualifications required to become a letting agent (although this could be soon to change, which we discuss in more detail below), there are a wide range of skills needed to be a success in this role. If you aspire to become a letting agent but are unsure of the necessary skills required, you have come to the right place. We’ve compiled the relevant skills and qualities needed for an entry level letting agent to help begin your career in this rewarding industry. Skills of [...] - [TODAY'S BUILD-TO-RENT MARKET](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/build-to-rent-btr-and-private-rental-sector-prs-market/): The UK’s private rented sector is growing. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that over the last 10 years, the number of privately rented households has increased an impressive 63 percent. But we still need more houses. In London, the number of rental properties needs to double to keep up with demand – by 2025, 40 percent of London households will be privately rented, overtaking owner occupation as the most common form of housing. Let’s take a look at what’s happening in the build-to-rent (BTR) or private rental sector (PRS) in more detail. Legislation is driving the [...] - [WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RELOCATING TO LONDON FOR YOUR PROPERTY CAREER](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/relocate-to-london-property-career/): Moving to the Capital to embark on a career in the property sector is an exciting prospect. That said, it’s not a decision to be taken lightly. There are many great reasons to relocate to London, but there are also a lot of potential pitfalls. Here we share our experience from helping hundreds of candidates make the move, so your eyes are open to the realities of what to expect. The positives Property job opportunities in London are rife It’s a pretty crude calculation, but there are a lot more chimney pots in London, which means more estate agents are [...] - [HOW NOT TO BE AN ESTATE AGENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-not-to-be-an-estate-agent/): For years, the image of the fast-talking, wheeler-dealing estate agent has haunted the UK property industry. As much of a caricature as the untrustworthy used car salesman or banker, estate agents have long-been tarred with a less than squeaky-clean reputation. Thankfully, modern estate agency has come a long way from this stereotype, and today’s industry professionals pride themselves on their integrity, honesty and customer focus. These are just a few of the attributes our clients look for in their new hires, and we make it our mission to help them find the best possible candidates. Having said that, we thought [...] - [HOW TO ACE A PRE-SCREENING TELEPHONE INTERVIEW](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/pre-screening-telephone-interview-tips/): Inviting candidates in for an interview is a huge investment – both for the interviewer and the interviewee. On paper, you could be the most talented person in the world, with every skill the job role requires, but if you don’t fit with the company’s culture, you won’t be happy at work and you’re unlikely to make it past your probationary period. To make this initial assessment, many estate agencies and property companies choose to perform a pre-screening telephone interview. Positioned as an ‘informal chat’, they typically last 15-20 minutes and your sole objective should be to secure that face-to-face [...] - [THE TOP TRANSFERABLE SKILLS THAT MAKE A GREAT ESTATE AGENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/the-top-transferable-skills-that-make-a-great-estate-agent/): Working as an estate agent, you’ll be responsible for everything from collecting information about a property to arranging viewings, advising clients on the best property for them, sharing insights about the local area, liaising with different parties to progress sales and moving tenants into their new homes. But none of this actually requires a formal qualification or years of experience. In fact, research from the HomeOwners Alliance shows that only 12% of house hunters would be put-off by inexperience, instead rating professionalism, appearance and telephone manner as the most important criteria (93%) when choosing an estate agent. Over the last [...] - [BEHIND THE SCENES AT PROPERTY PERSONNEL - LIFE AS A RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/behind-the-scenes-at-property-personnel-life-as-a-recruitment-consultant/): Having been with the company since 2011, Georgina Eastwood is an integral member of the Property Personnel team, and due to her continued success has deservedly progressed to Associate level.

The continuing uncertainty around Brexit, alongside its effect on the housing market, has led to mounting staffing difficulties within estate agency. Many agencies are feeling inhibited by the continuing Brexit delay, which is resulting in staff shortages and a big question mark over whether or not to hire new recruits to replace them. In this article, we delve into the most prevalent issues facing estate agency as the ongoing Brexit debate intensifies. We also explore how estate agents can adapt their job offerings [...] - [STAFF RETENTION: SIGNS AN EMPLOYEE IS ABOUT TO QUIT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/staff-retention-signs-an-employee-is-about-to-quit/): While progressing in your career path almost always involves moving from one organisation to another, losing key staff is always a significant loss to a business.

As a consequence, they will invariably win the war for talent, as well as holding on to those people for longer.” Retaining staff in a tough market can seem like a mammoth task. This is especially true in the estate agency industry, where staff turnover can be 40-50 percent with an average industry career length of just 18 months. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be this way. That’s why [...] - [FIVE WAYS TO GET A CONFIDENCE BOOST WHEN APPLYING FOR A JOB](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/five-ways-to-get-a-confidence-boost-when-applying-for-a-job/): If you’ve been looking for a job for a while, you might know what we mean when we say that your confidence may not be quite where it was when you started your search.

Having just recently joined Property Personnel, I’m new to property recruitment so I haven’t seen a change in the industry just yet. What challenges do you face on a daily basis?

Since 1988, we have worked with more than 5,000 clients and placed more than 10,000 candidates in jobs that have earned basic salaries totalling well over £100 million! But before we talk about the business and its past, it is terrifying to note “that many of the people we are placing in jobs weren’t even born when we started up the business!” and even three of our consultants, Charlotte, Georgina and Maddie, weren’t around either! Before we talk about the next 30 years to come, we thought we’d take a [...] - [AN EMPLOYER CHECKLIST: WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A CANDIDATE](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/recruitment-checklist-employee-the-right-candidate/): Searching for the right candidate to fit your business can be a difficult task, especially when you’re not completely sure what to look for beyond the qualifications that they have.

Getting through the interview stage is a massive achievement, but the most daunting conversation could be next – naming your price. Many jobs, especially graduate roles, will have a set starting salary, but in some cases you may find yourself in a position in which you need to establish a reasonable asking price.

As humans, we thrive on change, and our professional lives are much the same. When we get stuck in a role that has minimal room for development or growth, it’s easy to lose interest as we begin to feel stagnant, as though we’re not accomplishing as much as we should be. And that’s where the importance of personal development comes in. Research conducted by UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School revealed that a huge 65% of millennials consider personal development the most influential factor in a job, with a quarter of those asked [...] - [EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WORKING IN RENEWALS AND TENANCY MANAGEMENT](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/everything-you-need-to-know-about-working-in-renewals-and-tenancy-management/): The great thing about working in lettings is that there are so many avenues to explore. It’s likely that you’re only aware of the roles and responsibilities of a lettings negotiator if you’re in the early stages of researching the industry, but there are so many other opportunities up for grabs within the field that deal with all the different stages of the lettings process.

We all know that salary is important to job hunters, and it has long been the main criteria of accepting a job offer- or perhaps even applying for a job in the first place. But is the requirement for a healthy work-life balance catching up as a key requirement when applying for a new role?

Why the Residential Lettings industry? The lettings industry is undoubtedly booming. Over the last decade or so, there has been a significant shift from a nation of people aspiring to own a house to a new ‘generation rent’, as more and more people opt to rent their property rather than buy. According to data produced by Savills for the British Property Federation, the majority of Londoners are predicted to be renting their homes by 2025.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes they wouldn’t show the wear and the tear. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of fidget spinners danced in their heads. With some bills still unpaid and the mortgage still due, I found it hard to relax and renew. When out of nowhere, my chest started to ache, And just like that I rose and was awake. I jumped out of bed in a bit [...] - [ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU – HOW TO BE THE CANDIDATE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/be-a-candidate-recruiters-are-looking-for/): He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice…no not Santa, but your future employer.

When my school told me about our Work Experience week, and then I found out there was position at Property Personnel, I was really excited about the opportunity. I have always wanted to work in an office and be involved in a business environment.  I feel really excited, but I’m a bit nervous too. I feel prepared though- yesterday I went shopping to buy a new white shirt and some smart trousers, so at least I’ll look the [...] - [WHAT DOES A PROPERTY MANAGER DO?](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/what-does-a-property-manager-do/): Often seen as the ‘face’ of the property industry, it’s safe to say that most people are familiar with the day-to-day duties of an estate agent. But what about the job of the property manager? You may have heard of this role, but what exactly is a property manager and why are they so important to the industry? In short, without the work and support of a residential property manager, the industry would fall flat. Vital in making sure a property holds or increases its value, their responsibilities are hugely varied, depending on the agency.

In today’s ever-changing world, it’s become much more common, and socially acceptable, for workers to consider moving jobs on a regular basis than in previous times. Over the 29 years that we have been trading at Property Personnel, staff turnover within estate agency has always been high, but right now it seems to be higher than ever. As estate agency is a service industry, staff turnover will invariably be higher than in other fields such as legal, [...] - [HOW TO DRESS TO IMPRESS IN YOUR INTERVIEW](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-dress-to-impress-in-your-interview/): We all know that first impressions count, and that is certainly the case when it comes to a job interview.

In every busy workplace, it’s vital then that there is stability in the office, and this is where branch co-ordinators play a vital role, being a consistent presence in the office and offering an overview of all the work being done. The role of the branch co-ordinator, or branch administrator as it can also be known, has become increasingly popular in the past few years and we are seeing a [...] - [A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BRANCH ADMINISTRATOR](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/branch-administrator-day/): Branch administrators play an important role and it’s one we are seeing an increasing demand for.

I start the day by going through emails, checking answerphone messages and making [...] - [HOW I GOT THE JOB](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-i-got-job/): When applying for a role, there are certain factors which can boost your chances of success tenfold: a well-written CV, competent interview performance or a fabulous set of exam results, for example. However, that’s not all that can set you apart. We often write about how you need to ‘stand out among the crowd’ and show recruiters your ‘unique selling point’, and it’s these sometimes quirky, sometimes honourable traits that can tip the balance in your favour. We reached out on social media to find out what got you the job. Here are a few of your amazing replies together [...] - [CV BLUNDERS: DON’T DO WHAT THEY DID](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/cv-blunders-dont-do-what-they-did/): CV. Two letters that send fear, loathing and anxiety into the hearts of people around the world; on which future job prospects and general happiness could depend. The CV divides opinion – some say the concept is out of date, while others say it’s imperative. Regardless, it’s still in use and it’s still the first chance you get to demonstrate your suitability for a role. That means you should take time over creating it. You should tailor each CV to the job you’re applying for and you should pay careful attention to details. So don’t do what these people have [...] - [4 OF THE MOST COMMON, YET OVERLOOKED, INTERVIEW QUESTIONS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/4-common-yet-overlooked-interview-questions/): Interviews. A necessary evil that nobody looks forward to. It doesn’t seem to matter how much preparation you do in advance, there’s little that can be done to stop those palms from sweating and the nerves tingling. Even when you think you’re in control of the situation, the interviewers can suddenly throw you a curve ball. You’ll be expecting all of the “Tell me about a time when you demonstrated excellent customer service/communication/persuasion skills” enquiries, but what about some of the other, overlooked yet equally common questions you could be asked? Here are a handful of those which you probably [...] - [HOW TO OPTIMISE YOUR CV – 4 TOP TIPS](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/how-to-optimise-your-cv-4-top-tips/): We’ve spoken before about how to write a fantastic CV – that’s great, but how do you make sure that your CV is even seen? You could have two-pages of pure professional gold, but if no one can find it, then there’s no point. This is vital for LinkedIn and if you’ve added your CV to a database. You need to make sure your CV is searchable and that’s achieved by optimisation. Here’s how to do it. Use the right ‘keywords’ Here’s a marketing secret: all your favourite websites do lots of research into what prospective customers are searching for [...] - [THE RECRUITMENT JOURNEY](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/the-recruitment-journey/): Getting a new job can sometimes feel like a game of Snakes and Ladders – one minute you’re climbing the rungs to the next stage in the process; the next, you’re sliding back down to where you started.

Roll the dice and see how your recruitment journey [...] - [I GOT A GLASS STUCK TO MY FACE…AND OTHER BAD INTERVIEW STORIES](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/job-interview-stories/): Few people like interviews. No matter how well we prepare or how much useful guidance we receive, they still rank highly among the most stressful of human experiences. Some you will learn from; others are readily forgotten, but ultimately, most interviews are fairly uneventful: you either get the job or you don’t. Aaaaaaand…then there are the ones which stay with you forever, causing you to turn crimson with shame, embarrassment or just sheer awfulness. For all those of you who have had an interview that didn’t go so well, we thought we’d share a few truly cringe-worthy stories from recruiters, [...] - [HOW TO BE A GREAT SALES OR LETTINGS NEGOTIATOR](https://propertypersonnel.co.uk/great-sales-lettings-negotiator/): Arguably the most popular role in the property industry is the sales or lettings negotiator.
