I Joined Vickery Holman 8 months ago, working in the Plymouth office in the General Practice Team. I spent my first 6 months in the valuation team and have had a wide range of experience working on different types of valuation reports for the purpose of secured lending, asset value and Charities Act to name a few. Attending inspections with my colleagues, has given me invaluable experience and a wide range of knowledge. I have attended a variety of property inspections including industrial units, residential properties, residential development sites, retail units and HMOs.
Since January I have moved to the Business Rates team where I have been able to learn new skills and now have a better understanding of how they value business premises for business rates purposes. The range of work has included check and challenges relating to split and mergers of properties, backdating VOA inaccuracies and the removal of properties undergoing substantial development. The last 2 months I have been able to attend a wider variety of inspections including a night club and caravan sites.
Within the next couple of months, I will be working within the lease advisory team where I will be involved with the negotiation of lease renewals and rent reviews. Working for Vickery Holman so far has given me a wide range of experience which will only help me to grow and develop my knowledge and understanding for my APC.
I have enjoyed my time at VH so far not only with the variety of work I have been exposed to but also through the various networking events and training days I have attended. The training days VH have provided have allowed me to meet my colleagues from different offices including my fellow graduates which I have been able to build good working relationships with.
I look forward to my future at Vickery Holman and developing my career.
