Overview:

THE FIRM

Montagu Evans is an independent, market leading property consultancy. Headquartered in London with offices in Scotland and Manchester. Our work encompasses planning and development, specialist valuations and transactions across the United Kingdom.

This collaborative approach enables us to tailor talent to the complexity of each instruction and deliver outstanding results. We give everyone the opportunity to be the best version of themselves.


THE TEAM

The 45+ strong Rating team headed up by Josh Myerson is divided into three principal workstreams: Occupier Rating, Landlord/Developer Rating and Rate Management.

 

The Occupier Rating sub-team advises some of the UK’s largest and most recognisable occupiers across retail, hospitality, leisure, logistics, healthcare, and corporate portfolios.

Clients include national brands, blue-chip occupiers, and public sector bodies.

This is an experienced technical role requiring sound knowledge of property referencing, inspection and measurement techniques, as well as familiarity with the business rates system. The Referencer will work both independently and collaboratively to gather and maintain data that underpins valuation assessments, appeal submissions, and strategic client advice.
