Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Regulation

Regulation Asia

From June 2007, UK firms were invited to sign up for regulation with RICS. There are now around 10 000 UK firms benefiting from using the designation 'Regulated by RICS'. 

The overwhelming success of this regime now allows RICS to offer the benefits of being regulated to firms outside of the UK. We launched the first non-UK regime in Hong Kong, where we have been regulating firms since April 2009.

Since then, we have extended regulation in Asia to China, and firms interested in becoming regulated in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand can also register.
