Senior Surveyor - Commercial Leasing

Are you an ambitious commercial agent who thrives on closing deals but feels held back by traditional corporate constraints? Imagine stepping into a role in Central London where your entrepreneurial spirit is celebrated, and your creative ideas actually shape how property is marketed. As a Commercial Property Advisor at GKR International, you will take ownership of the full leasing lifecycle—from managing dynamic property listings to advising clients on yields and modern workplace design. This is a permanent, office-based role designed for a proactive dealmaker who wants to blend conventional leasing expertise with modern, digitally-driven property advisory.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deal execution and advisory: Lead end-to-end commercial property leasing and acquisitions across Central London, managing negotiations and navigating complex legal processes to secure optimal terms.
  • Portfolio management: Proactively manage and update active rosters of commercial property listings, ensuring high-quality presentation and maximum market exposure.
  • Client consultation: Advise landlords and tenants on strategic property improvements, workspace optimization, and rental yields to maximize asset value.
  • Market networking: Actively build and leverage relationships with landlords, tenants, occupiers, and industry collaborators to generate high-value instructions and referral pipelines.
  • Process management: Oversee the conventional leasing journey, coordinating smoothly with solicitors, surveyors, and stakeholders from instruction to completion.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven track record: 3 to 5 years of solid experience within a commercial agency, with a demonstrable history of completing successful commercial leasing transactions.
  • Sector knowledge: Deep understanding of commercial asset classes (with a strong focus on office and/or retail sectors) and a thorough grasp of the legal processes involved in conventional leasing.
  • Industry background: Experience gained within a commercial agency, conventional leasing environment, or a serviced office provider (provided you possess strong knowledge of conventional lease structures).
  • Tech proficiency: Daily hands-on experience utilizing industry-essential tools and portals, specifically Kato CRM, CoStar, or equivalent property databases.
  • No credentials barrier: Success in this role is measured by your commercial drive and deal-making ability; therefore, no university degree or RICS accreditation is required.

Nice-to-Have

  • Digital presence & branding: Strong social media acumen, particularly in creating engaging LinkedIn content, writing industry blogs, and demonstrating an authentic on-camera presence to build a personal brand.
  • Creative flair: An eye for workplace aesthetics, interior design trends, and modern workplace technology that helps clients visualize the future of their spaces.
