General Practice
About
the sector
RICS-chartered surveyors and asset management professionals for local authority and private sector property portfolios.
General Practice surveying within local authorities centres on managing diverse property portfolios while balancing commercial performance with public sector priorities. Surveyors work across offices, housing, schools, commercial assets and community buildings, supporting day-to-day estate management alongside acquisitions, disposals, valuations and asset strategy.
Councils typically own a mixed bag of assets, from commercial and operational to investment, leisure, retail and rural, and getting value from that portfolio takes experienced hands. When an estates team needs cover or a specific piece of asset work needs delivering, we supply chartered professionals who can operate across both the operational and strategic sides of the work.
Roles our General Practice consultants recruit
- Estates and Asset Surveyors
- Property Managers and Strategic Asset Managers
- Head of Property and Asset Management
- Executive and Corporate Asset Management
Why Park Avenue
General Practice is one of our strongest areas, and the surveyors we place are Chartered with RICS as standard. We support local authorities nationwide and have assisted property consultancies too, so we understand both the public and private sides of the work. Roles are available across both sectors, with the private sector focused on commercial and investment assets.
The feedback from the people we place says it best. Our consultants take time to understand someone's experience and advise honestly on what will suit them, and more than a few describe being treated as a friend rather than a client. We talk through your brief before anyone goes forward, so you meet people who genuinely fit the role.
