Rules of conduct

The rules are short, simple and principles-based.

Rules of Conduct for Firms

These rules will apply to all firms that are regulated by RICS. Where the firm is based and operates will determine whether or not they will or can opt to be a regulated firm.

Regulated firms can benefit from:

A proportionate and flexible approach that allows firms to comply with the rules in a way that suits their business size, the sphere in which they operate and the needs and demands of their clients
The opportunity to nominate a single point of contact in the firm and to provide compliance information to RICS through a single annual return
For firms holding clients' money, a lower cost compliance regime that provides help and guidance from RICS' own accountancy team
For eligible firms, the use of 'Regulated by RICS' on letterhead and business stationery to profit from the reputational benefits of a cutting edge professional regulatory regime, valued by clients, recognised by government and other regulators.
