Cobalt is partnering with a client who are looking for an experienced rural property professional to join a highly regarded land and estates team managing a diverse portfolio across the North West. This is a broad and commercially focused role offering exposure to agricultural, residential and strategic land interests, with the opportunity to play a key part in shaping long-term asset strategy whilst managing day-to-day estate operations.

You will be responsible for the management and optimisation of a substantial mixed-use land portfolio, ensuring assets are professionally managed, income is maximised and opportunities for long-term value creation are identified and delivered.

Key responsibilities include:

Managing agricultural holdings, farm business tenancies and residential property interests
Leading rent reviews, lease events, renewals and tenant negotiations
Handling landlord and tenant matters and estate management issues
Managing health & safety, compliance and property inspections
Overseeing external agents, consultants and contractors
Resolving land ownership, boundary, access and title matters
Supporting strategic asset management initiatives and development readiness
Building strong relationships with tenants, stakeholders and local authorities
Mentoring junior team members and promoting best practice across the portfolio

About You

We are keen to speak with candidates who possess:

MRICS and/or FAAV qualification
Strong rural estate management and agricultural property experience
Excellent knowledge of agricultural tenancies, landlord and tenant matters and UK property legislation
Experience leading rent reviews and tenant negotiations independently
A commercial mindset with the ability to balance short-term income generation against long-term asset value
Strong communication, organisational and stakeholder management skills
The confidence to work autonomously and make informed decisions

This is not a traditional landed estate role. The portfolio sits largely on the urban fringe and offers a unique blend of rural estate management, strategic land and commercial asset management. The organisation operates in a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment where decisions are made quickly, ideas are encouraged and career progression is genuinely available for high-performing individuals.
