Rural Surveyor
North Yorkshire | Client-Side
Permanent | Hybrid Working | Excellent Benefits
Are you a Chartered Rural Surveyor looking for the opportunity to move client-side and work across a diverse and fascinating rural property portfolio?
I'm working with a major national landowner looking to appoint a Rural Surveyor to join its established Land & Estates team, covering a portfolio across North Yorkshire.
This is a varied position, combining traditional estate management and landlord & tenant work with the opportunity to become involved in environmental land management, conservation, woodland, access and longer-term estate strategy.
Rather than focusing purely on fee-earning, you'll have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with tenants and stakeholders and help influence how a significant rural portfolio is managed for the future.
The Opportunity
Working alongside experienced estate and property professionals, you'll provide practical rural surveying advice across a varied portfolio.
Your work is likely to include:
Agricultural landlord & tenant matters
Management of agricultural tenancies and other occupational agreements
Commercial lettings and wider estate management
Agri-environment and land management schemes
Woodland creation and management
Access, easements, wayleaves and rights over land
Boundary and other property-related matters
Restrictive covenants and title issues
Occasional acquisitions and disposals
Providing technical property advice to colleagues across the wider organisation
Building strong relationships with tenants, landowners and other stakeholders
About You
I'm keen to speak with Rural Surveyors who have a good grounding in rural estate management, agriculture and landlord & tenant work, coupled with an interest in the changing demands being placed upon rural land.
Ideally, you will:
Be MRICS qualified, preferably through the Rural pathway
Have experience within rural estate management or professional rural surveying
Understand agricultural tenancies and wider landlord & tenant matters
Have knowledge of land management, agriculture and rural property
Have an interest in conservation, sustainability and environmental land management
Be confident dealing with tenants and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
Have strong negotiation, communication and problem-solving skills
Be comfortable working autonomously while being part of a wider multidisciplinary team
Why Consider It?
For someone currently working within a rural consultancy, this could be a particularly interesting opportunity to move client-side without losing the variety of traditional rural surveying.
You'll benefit from:
A diverse and unusual rural property portfolio
A balance of traditional estate management and emerging land-use work
Greater involvement in longer-term decision-making rather than purely fee-earning instructions
Close working relationships with tenants and other rural stakeholders
Exposure to environmental and conservation-led projects
A collaborative team of property and land professionals
Hybrid working, balancing home, office and time out on the estate
If you're a Rural Surveyor or Land Agent in North Yorkshire or the wider Yorkshire region and would be interested in exploring a move client-side, I'd be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
