Brading Property Services International

Through the changes in the IAS (International Accounting Standards) came the needs for a more uniform approach to valuing property.
As a result of this the demand grew for valuations that complied with the (inter)national norms and standards as compiled by the RICS and IVS(International Valuation Standards).
When issuing a loan the Dutch banks are increasingly requesting a valuation undertaken by an RICS member.

The Chartered Surveying Profession through the work of the RICS and its active member surveyors has grown stronger both in the provision of the services and recognition of the norms and standards.
These norms and standards are included in the 'Red Book', which is the standard reference for property valuation.

-

Members who undertake valuations whereby these standards apply must have been accepted in the "RICS Valuer Registration Scheme", and carry the title RICS Registered Valuer(RRV). Full information can be found in the regulationsection of the website www.rics.org.

The RICS has its own Code of Conduct and Rules of Conduct. These rules are concerned with, amongst others, integrity, independance and the organisation of the members office as well as the conduct of the individual member.
In order the ensure the level of quality and professionalism a system of continuing permanent education has been established which is subject to evaluation. RICS members are required to ensure that they maintain a high level of property knowledge.
