Do your clients understand the importance of using a RICS Registered Surveyor? Here's a blog I've written recently about why choosing a RICS registered surveyor is paramount and how it can bring peace of mind to your clients.

In British Columbia, the Strata Property Act (SPA) does not explicitly state the amount of meetings that a strata council must hold. In other words, the SPA does not require strata corporations to hold a minimum amount of strata council meetings. That being said, the operational requirements of most strata corporations, as well as other provisions in the SPA, the Standard Bylaws (which strata corporations can amend), and other applicable legislation make it difficult and often impractical for strata councils to properly manage a strata corporation without holding strata council meetings.

To begin my posts about dealing with complaints for those starting up as Independent Residential Surveyors I will share with a tip that should be simple but some people do find difficult. Set a complaints procedure and follow it every time. Sounds straight forward but too often I see Surveyors asking what to do in response to a complaint, especially those that they don't think are valid. Even if you believe the complaint has no merit, for example a complaint from a seller who disagrees with your report, you still follow your complaints procedure. There are two reasons for this, the first is because if you don't then actually you create the possibility of a new complaint, namely you did not follow your complaints procedure! The second is that a good complaints procedure should give you time and space to review the whole situation. It is very hard not to take a complaint personally, especially so when it is your own business. Even if you think you know all the facts because you were the one who carried out the survey that does not mean you might be missing a detail or allowing your emotions to cloud your judgement. I will pop a link the RICS complaints handling guidance in the comments as this has some good information about how to put your process together. The other vital thing it highlights is that for RICS members who need to talk to someone about how they are being effected by a complaint then the absolutely incredible people at LionHeart RICS are there for you. #RICS #RPSA #CABE #ComplaintsProcedure

CoStar News - RICS Feels Heat on 2023 APC Assessments What a total shambles RICS. To cancel someone's assessment at the last second is not on. Graduates work extremely hard to become chartered and I do not know of any other industry that would see this as acceptable. I had heard a few murmurs of this in the past when mentoring a graduate and it seems to only be getting worse. The insistence on an oral exam to be undertaken over Teams post Covid, when we are supposed to be an industry that relies on physical human interaction, is astonishing. It is no wonder you cannot get enough people to examine candidates. The entire process is antiquated and should be ripped up. Make it a level playing field across board to ensure a meritocracy in assessment and one that rewards a consistent and able candidate.

Have you ever wondered about the importance of RICS valuations in property assessment? RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) sets the standard for property valuations, ensuring accuracy and reliability in the assessment process. Trusting a RICS surveyor for your property valuations can provide you with peace of mind and assurance in the value of your property. #propertyvaluation #valuationreport #housevaluation #rics #sharedownership #sharedownershipjourney
