Why use Surveyors Regulated by the RICS?
When thinking of property and construction and looking for advice it is always advisable to obtain advise from an experienced professional, who will offer expertise and independent advice. At Dayle Bayliss Associates LLP we are Regulated by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and a team of chartered professionals, however, why should you use RICS members? The RICS have recently published guidance on why to use RICS members and firms Regulated by the RICS. Here is a summary of that advice:
“RICS members are the professionals of the property world. Their training and experience qualifies them to help on all aspects of your property affairs. Some offer a range of property skills and others specialise in particular areas such as valuation, building surveys or agricultural property.
Members can be recognised by the letters AssocRICS, MRICS or FRICS after their name. This is more than a guarantee of levels of professional training and experience, as RICS also ensures that members abide by strict rules of conduct.
As an ultimate safeguard, all RICS members are required to carry professional indemnity insurance, which protects the client’s position in the unlikely event of professional negligence.
The Advantages
- They give you clear, impartial and expert advice
- They act in your interest
- They are tightly regulated and have to follow strict rules of conduct – including having in place professional indemnity insurance to protect you
- RICS members have a specific set of rules and best practice guidance, such as the Real Estate Agency and Brokerage Standards, designed to help ensure RICS agents provide exceptional service
- RICS members have to update their skills and knowledge throughout their careers, so you can rely on their expertise
- You are protected by a complaints procedure.
Look out for firms that are ‘Regulated by RICS’. Commercial property agents and surveying firms will use this phrase on their stationery and advertising material.”
