Bricks & Mortar: Chris Ridgway on what it means to be a rent review surveyor

In this latest episode of Bricks & Mortar, EG’s Sarah Jackman is joined by Chris Ridgway - head of business space lease advisory at Colliers - to explore the role of the rent review surveyor.

They go back to basics and discuss what a rent review means, how it is conducted and the type of person that’s suited to the role. Chris reflects on how he found his way into the profession, what he’s most enjoyed about it over the years and how being inquisitive, analytical and understanding the market are all key to being successful in the role.

Ultimately though “To be successful, you need to understand what you enjoy and what you’re good at because if you enjoy something, you’ll be good at it and if you’re good at it, you’ll enjoy it.”
