RICS – The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors – is totally committed to raising the standards of the property profession and protecting the public through effective regulation. We like to think it’s one of the reasons that RICS has grown to be one of the largest‚ most respected and high profile global organisations of its kind in the world.

As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence we have recently launched a new regulatory regime. This regime underpins how our members and their firms conduct themselves. The standards they adopt in everything they do will help you to buy and sell a home.

It will be easy to spot estate agents and property surveying firms that come under this new regulatory regime‚ as they will use the words ‘Regulated by RICS’ on their letterhead and in their advertising.
