Lettings Negotiator - Essex / London - £30,000 - £50k OTE

If you’re an experienced Lettings Negotiator looking for a role where you can take real ownership of your properties, rather than simply processing lets, this could be worth a conversation.

I’m recruiting for an established property group with a 40-year track record, looking for a confident and commercially minded Lettings Negotiator to join their PRS team.

This is a hands-on, mobile role where you’ll manage the lettings process from start to finish — from marketing and generating demand through to viewings, negotiation, tenant selection and move-ins.

  • Essex / London & surrounding areas

  • £30,000 basic

  • Uncapped monthly performance-related lettings bonus

  • Full UK driving licence required

  • Weekend working as part of the agreed working pattern

What you'll be doing:
  • Taking ownership of allocated vacant properties and minimising void periods

  • Creating compelling property listings, photography, video and marketing content

  • Managing enquiries, qualifying applicants and maintaining an active pipeline

  • Conducting property viewings across Essex, London and surrounding areas

  • Negotiating rental terms and making recommendations on suitable tenants

  • Managing digital and social media activity to generate applicant demand

  • Monitoring enquiries, viewings and conversion rates and identifying ways to improve performance

  • Supporting check-ins, check-outs and the wider PRS operation

  • Building strong relationships with applicants, tenants, agents and internal teams

The key here is commercial judgement. You’ll be expected to look at a property and understand what will help it let — whether that’s pricing, presentation, marketing, applicant quality or the overall approach.

About you:

  • Around 2 years' property-sector experience, ideally within residential lettings

  • Strong negotiation and applicant-qualification skills

  • Confident dealing with customers and stakeholders

  • Comfortable working independently and managing your own diary

  • Good understanding of property marketing and social media

  • Organised, resilient and commercially minded

  • Full UK driving licence

  • Ambitious about building a career within residential lettings

There’s also a strong benefits package, including Bupa healthcare after probation, a £300 Employee of the Month voucher, discretionary annual bonus, pension contributions, employee assistance, ongoing CPD, social events and death-in-service cover.

If you’re currently working in lettings, estate agency or property and are looking for a role with more ownership, responsibility and earning potential, drop me a message for more information.
