Using a surveyor
How can an RICS Chartered Surveyor help you?
Chartered surveyors are highly experienced and qualified professionals who offer impartial, specialist advice on property issues.
Their services are diverse. Beyond valuing homes or looking for structural defects, they provide more expertise in property, construction and related environmental issues than anyone else in the field.
Why it's important to use an RICS surveyor
RICS members must update their knowledge and competence throughout their working life, through RICS' Continuous Professional Development regulations, so you can be confident the advice you receive will be of the highest and most professional standard.
RICS members must adhere to Rules of Conduct, and consumers are protected by a formal complaints handling procedure.
How to identify a member or a member firm
RICS members can be identified by the letters after their name. MRICS or FRICS indicates that the surveyor you use has qualified as a Chartered surveyor. TechRICS indicates that the surveyor has qualified as a technical surveyor.
All listings on the Find a Surveyor service are by RICS member firms. Member firms are also entitled to use the mark of membership.
