Working in the property industry is extremely popular right now, and we’ve already written about the various types of jobs you might want to take up in this sector. For our follow-up blog post on this topic, here are some great ways you can build on your initial foundations and further your property career.

In Construction

In order to further your career in the construction industry, you simply need to build up a good reputation. So, you simply need to continue to deliver everything that you promise.

Eventually, your reputation will be highly regarded, and you will find that this starts to bring in new customers. Once you have been with a construction company for a few years, you then might want to become an independent construction worker. In order to do this, you will need to either become a sole trader or create your very own construction company!

As A Bed & Breakfast Owner

Some people have spare rooms that they turn into bed & breakfast rooms to rent out to visitors to their area. If your B&B business goes well after the first few years, you might want to expand and buy a larger property suitable to be a hotel.

You never know, you might even decide to move into corporate housing rentals and focus on long-term rentals. Eventually, you might even decide to open a few different properties and start a B&B or hotel chain.

As A Property Developer

Ready to move up to the next rung of your career as a property developer? It’s easy: you just need to find some more clients! Most property developers work for themselves at first. They might even start off renovating and maintaining properties as a hobby and investment.

But when you are ready to build on all your foundations in this area, you should start to look for professional clients. Eventually, you might be able to set up your very own property company!

In Property Law

It will take you a few years to ensure you have all the experience and knowledge you need to further your career in property law. That’s because there is a lot that you will need to learn on the job before you can progress. Plus, you will be expected to take exams and tests before you are fully qualified.

Once you do have a few years’ experience under your belt, you might want to consider quitting full-time employment and becoming a self-employed lawyer.

That way, you can become your own boss! Alternatively, if you can afford it, you could always start your very own law firm and you could make yourself head of the property law department!

As you can see, you don’t have to stay on the bottom rung of any property career before too long. There are plenty of ways you can build on the foundations that we mentioned in the first post of this series.
