The Package
The Application Procedure
John D Wood & Co. is looking to recruit exceptional graduates, who have successfully completed or are completing a R.I.C.S. accredited course, to join our Residential Valuation and Surveying Department. We offer the opportunity for graduates with proven academic excellence (typically at least three "A"s at "A" level) and a passion for property to undertake the Residential Property Practice pathway for the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).
Our Residential Valuation and Surveying Department specializes in the top end of the residential market and our clients include private individuals, companies as well as governments. We undertake valuations for litigation, loan security, tax and charitable purposes. A large proportion of our work is in the area of Leasehold Reform where we are known as the leaseholders agent as we have only represented leaseholders for the last 30 years. Discretion, attention to detail and an inquisitive mind will be essential as much of our work is for court or tribunal.
Our two year training scheme concentrates on one to one mentoring and hands on experience. Whilst most training will be conducted in-house there will also be an opportunity to study from experts in the relevant disciplines. Graduates will be expected to deal with clients from an early stage. Therefore candidates must have good interpersonal skills and a keen analytical mind.
Near to the time of your interim and final assessment APC Interviews, you will be given advice on your required submissions and will be prepared for your APC Interview with mock assessments.
John D Wood & Co. has achieved a 100% first time pass rate for all previous graduates and we continue to look for exceptional candidates who have the intelligence and integrity to excel. Therefore we offer graduates a very competitive remuneration package which is designed to attract the best candidates.
