The role
What a valuer actually does, day to day.
As a valuer, you visit homes, offices and other buildings and work out their market value. You look at the condition, size, location and what similar properties have sold for recently, then write a report saying what you think the building is worth.
Your day involves inspecting properties carefully, measuring spaces, checking for problems like damp or subsidence, researching what other similar properties sold for, and then writing a clear report explaining your valuation. You might work for a bank assessing a house someone wants to mortgage, or for a developer planning new buildings, or for someone selling their home. You need to be thorough, understand how property markets work, and be able to explain your reasoning clearly so people understand what you've found.
