Careers

At Hogbens Property Services, we are committed to building a strong, skilled, and motivated team. We believe in training our staff, supporting professional development, and upskilling wherever possible. As the business continues to grow, our aim is to promote from within while also welcoming new talent into the company.

Join the Hogbens Team

We are looking for surveyors who take pride in their work, have a genuine interest in property, and understand the importance of clear, helpful communication with clients. Our reputation is built on quality, reliability, and strong customer relationships, so we are particularly interested in people who are personable, professional, and able to provide a high standard of service.

We offer competitive salary packages, with starting salaries from £50,000 per annum, plus bonus. On-target earnings are expected to be substantially above this and will be dependent on experience, qualifications, and workload.

Our bonus structure is designed to be both competitive and achievable. For surveyors carrying out around five surveys per week, on-target earnings are likely to be in the region of £55,000 to £60,000 per annum, with the opportunity to earn more. Our focus is on quality rather than quantity, and surveyors who wish to undertake additional surveys are encouraged to do so. However, there is no expectation to take on excessive workloads and no penalty for maintaining a sensible, quality-led approach.

We place significant importance on work-life balance. We do not expect our surveyors to work outside their normal working hours unless they choose to. We recognise that time away from work is important and should be respected.

Ideally, applicants should be SAVA qualified as a minimum. MRICS status is preferred, although it is not essential. We are particularly interested in relaxed, capable individuals who want to develop with the company and be part of a dynamic, growing practice.

We are currently looking for surveyors in the following areas:

• Nantwich

• Derby

• Sheffield

• Stoke-on-Trent

If you are a motivated surveyor looking for a role with genuine earning potential, professional support, and a healthy work-life balance, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Please send your CV to james@hogbens.co.uk or call us directly on 0161 477 770 for an informal discussion.

Excellent Surveyors. James was very thorough in every way. He took plenty of photographs to show different parts of the property & Drew keep me informed about everything too. Big thanks to the Team

Hogbens did a fantastic job surveying a property we're buying. Found them very helpful and prompt communication throughout the entire process, both before and after the survey. Highly recommended. Rabee.

Fantastic report, best surveyor report I've seen to date. Great service and saved us the misfortune of buying the wrong property would recommend.

Back in October we used Hogbens to complete a level 2 survey on a house we were purchasing at the time, I received a call afterwards to give us a brief overview and 5 days later received the full report. This report was 80 pages long, very detailed and contained lots of images showing various problems etc. They arranged with the vendor a date/time to conduct the survey which was amazing as we didn't then need to organise it ourselves. Due to the findings in the survey we did end up pulling out of the house purchase, therefore saving us a lot of money in the long run. Fast forward 8 months, the second house pulling out on us and finally finding property number 3 that we loved, Hogbens were at the top of our list to conduct another level 2 survey, another great experience and detailed report. Thank you SO much for all your help, we are hoping this property goes through and we won't need another survey but I won't hold my breath! 10/10 would recommend!

I highly recommend Hogbens for house surveys. This is the third one we’ve had done, and it only gets better. The report each time has been so clear and helpful, it’s invaluable. We love that James rings us with verbal feedback on the day the survey’s carried out too, so we’re not left in suspense until the written report arrives a few days later. Now Drew Marnitz has appeared as surveyor administrator and she’s a star too - you can really count on her to respond promptly and efficiently to calls and emails. It’s a rare privilege to find such helpful and friendly people to aid the sometimes rather fraught process of house buying.

What a friendly and professional service! James and his term completed a level 3 survey on a house we were purchasing and he did a fantastic job. Incredibly helpful and obviously very knowledgeable. He rang my husband on completion of the survey and talked him through everything. Couldn't find a more thorough and detailed surveyor. We would definitely recommend.
