Residential Valuer

Cobalt
Reading, Berkshire

A leading national independent surveying practice is seeking a Residential Valuer to join their expanding team across multiple UK locations working remotely.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a modern, forward-thinking business that has built a strong reputation within the mortgage lending and residential valuation space. The firm combines a high-volume instruction pipeline with a flexible, surveyor-first culture, offering autonomy, strong earnings potential, and genuine work-life balance.

With a strong focus on innovation, efficiency, and client service, the business continues to provide surveyors with consistent work within carefully allocated postcode areas designed to minimise travel and maximise productivity.

The Role

Specialist Valuation Focus

This role is ideally suited to surveyors who enjoy and want to specialise in residential valuations, particularly for secured lending purposes.

Your workload will predominantly consist of:

  • Mortgage valuations for major lenders
  • Desktop and zero-contact valuations (where applicable)
  • Help to Buy and scheme-related valuations
  • Private client valuation instructions

Valuations play a critical role in the property market, supporting lending decisions and ensuring accurate market assessments for buyers, lenders, and investors.

You will operate within a defined geographical patch, allowing you to build strong local knowledge while maintaining efficiency and manageable travel times.

Technology & Efficiency

The business is highly focused on leveraging technology to streamline the valuation process and reduce admin-heavy tasks.

  • Advanced systems and reporting tools
  • Efficient booking and job allocation
  • Ongoing investment in digital surveying solutions
  • Reduced paperwork and streamlined reporting processes

This enables surveyors to focus on inspections and reporting, rather than being slowed down by operational inefficiencies.

Support Structure

Surveyors benefit from a well-established and supportive infrastructure, including:

  • Dedicated Area Directors providing local support and oversight
  • Centralised administration and operations team
  • Strong internal communication and collaboration
  • Ongoing formal and informal CPD support
  • Consistent pipeline of work from lender clients

You will be part of a business that prioritises accessibility, support, and staying closely connected to its surveyors despite its national reach.

About You

  • MRICS qualified and RICS Registered Valuer
  • Experience in residential valuations (mortgage/lending preferred)
  • Strong understanding of your local property market
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, instruction-led environment
  • Organised, efficient, and commercially minded
  • Full UK driving licence

Why Join?

  • Join a modern and growing surveying practice with a strong reputation in the lending space
  • Focus on what you enjoy valuations rather than split surveying workloads
  • Work within a defined patch to reduce travel and increase efficiency
  • Benefit from high volumes of work and strong earning potential
  • Be part of a flexible, non-corporate culture that values innovation and autonomy
  • Access ongoing CPD and professional development support

Salary & Benefits

  • Competitive basic salary £65,000 + £5,000 Car Allowance
  • Uncapped bonus/fee-per-job structure
  • Defined postcode patch to minimise travel
  • Flexible, home-based working
  • Strong admin and operational support
  • Ongoing CPD and professional development
  • Access to market-leading technology and systems
