RICS CONSIDER VALUATION ACCREDITATION

Posted on 3 July 2009

Bowlts have welcomed the RICS’ proposal to consider the introduction of an enhanced regulatory scheme for valuations. The proposed scheme will ensure the RICS qualification continues to remain the global market leader with the introduction of an accreditation programme for individual valuers.

“Rural based valuation is a specialty at Bowlts and in a rapidly changing economic climate it is important to drive up standards and raise confidence in this sector writes Craig Forster. “Significant variations have been experienced recently within the rural property market and it is fundamental to our clients that they fully understand these so that they can plan for the future.”

Following a period of consultation, the RICS intend to have the new scheme in place by March 2010.
