Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. MRICS chartership is the decisive lever, as it is across the surveying professions. Consultancy dilapidations/professional work and client-side asset roles both pay well; contract demand is strong around compliance-driven work (fire safety, decarbonisation retrofit).
