Luke Lawler
Building Surveyor at United Utilities
I can’t recommend Property Elite highly enough for the support they provided throughout my AssocRICS submission.
Joe and Jen were both incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and supportive throughout the whole process. Their guidance helped me understand exactly what RICS assessors were looking for, strengthen my submission and go into the assessment feeling confident and well prepared.
The feedback was always clear, constructive and tailored to my own experience as a Building Surveyor, rather than feeling like a generic approach.
I’m delighted to have now successfully passed my AssocRICS assessment, and Property Elite played a huge part in helping me get there. A massive thank you to Joe and Jen for all their help and support — I’d highly recommend Property Elite to anyone working towards their RICS qualification.

The service is great and best of luck to all others who choose Property Elite to help them on their journey...
A massive thank you to Jen and the Property Elite Team. Put simply, their RICS mentoring and Counsellor service works because of their team’s knowledge, advice, and guidance, which has been essential in navigating the AssocRICS assessment process. Having passed, this marks a milestone in my surveying journey.
I work for a Housing Association, where I have gained significant building surveying experience over the years, but lacked the experience of private practice, who offer RICS career guidance and progression, so finding Property Elite was a game changer. I couldn’t have achieved AssocRICS without the structured mentoring and Counsellor support provided by Property Elite, who are uniquely positioned to offer this service. I can only recommend them to others working towards their AssocRICS or their MRICS.
Property Elite provided a very experienced and a thorough MRICS mentor/Counsellor, so I quickly realised the expectation of RICS standards. The guidance, encouragement and critique, helped me to question and understand how to correctly write, and present my assessment, so that my final submission reached the level required to achieve AssocRICS.

Harry Crawford-Vine
Residential Surveyor at Gibson's Surveyors
Thank you!
I had a one to one meeting to go through my AssocRICS submission - Property Elite gave me new points to bring up and what RICS look for in competencies. This helped me to understand what RICS were looking for and how I could cut down my word count effectively.
Craig Trusler
Surveying Manager at ArtemisUK
Thanks to their support, I successfully achieved AssocRICS status.
I cannot recommend Property Elite highly enough.
From the very beginning, Jen was extremely professional, approachable and clear in explaining the mentoring process. At what can feel like a daunting stage when selecting the right support for your RICS pathway, Jen provided reassurance, structure and confidence that I was in safe hands.
Following our initial discussions, Jen introduced me to Brian, who became my mentor throughout my AssocRICS journey. Brian was nothing short of fantastic. His approach was structured yet personable, and he quickly understood both my role and the level I needed to demonstrate. His guidance, feedback and recommendations were invaluable in strengthening my submission and refining my competencies.
What stood out most was Brian’s ability to challenge constructively. He didn’t just review documents. He enhanced my thinking, sharpened my explanations and ensured everything aligned properly with RICS expectations. His insight into what the assessors are really looking for was exceptional.
If you are considering becoming AssocRICS, I would highly recommend Property Elite, Jen and Brian for professional, experienced, and knowledgeable.

David Brown
Operations Manager at Rion Investments
I recently completed my AssocRICS qualification with the support of Property Elite, and I cannot recommend them highly enough — especially Jen Lemen and the wider team.
From the very beginning, the guidance was structured, clear, and tailored to exactly what is required to successfully pass AssocRICS. Jen’s coaching was outstanding; she provided practical advice, constructive feedback, and consistent encouragement throughout the process. Her knowledge of the assessment requirements and ability to explain expectations in a straightforward, realistic way made a huge difference to my confidence and preparation.
The wider Property Elite team were equally professional and responsive, offering excellent resources, timely communication, and a well-organised programme that kept me on track. The written submission support was particularly valuable.
Thanks to their expertise and support, I felt fully prepared and successfully passed. I would strongly recommend Property Elite to anyone working towards AssocRICS or other RICS qualifications — their experience and personalised approach genuinely set them apart.

Luke Henderson
Project Manager & Building Surveyor at Cowie Consulting
Property Elite provided clear, practical support throughout my AssocRICS submission on the Building Surveying pathway.
The mentoring was well structured and closely aligned with RICS requirements. Brian’s guidance was focused, knowledgeable, and effective.
I have now enrolled on the APC to become MRICS and am continuing to work with Brian. I would recommend Property Elite to anyone progressing through the RICS assessment process.

Exceptional service from this great team!
Jen was more than willing to take time to answer all my questions and the vital support I had from Sarah was second to none. Would highly recommend if looking to start your Associate RICS assessment.
