Key responsibilities will include the evaluation of real estate investment and development / leasing opportunities, market research, and supporting all asset classes and regional teams on transaction executions.

What we offer

- A paid internship with compensation aligned to our first-year Analyst programme, reflecting the caliber of talent we are looking to attract
- Where the internship is successful, the opportunity to receive an offer to return as a full-time Analyst commencing Summer 2028, subject to performance

Important Information

Right to work / visas: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the internship. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this internship. Foreign nationals holding a valid student visa can typically undertake a full-time summer internship without sponsorship, provided they continue to meet the conditions of their visa – please ensure you are able to satisfy these requirements before applying.

Technical assessment

Successful applicants will be asked to complete a timed Excel financial modelling test. Candidates are expected to understand basic real estate concepts and to be able to build a simple, dynamic financial model. No professional modelling experience is required.

The modelling test is just one component of the overall selection process.

No professional modelling experience is required to complete the modelling test, but we recommended practicing using Joshua Kahr’s case studies, linked here .

Open Day

Successful candidates will be invited to an Open Day in our London office in November to meet with the team.
