    Published: 18/06/2025

    Author: Emily Clarke

    Whether you are buying a home, investing in property, or managing land and buildings, the right professional advice is essential. That is why it is important to understand the qualifications behind the expertise and what ensures it meets the highest standard.

    Who Are RICS?

    The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is a leading global professional body that has been working in the public interest for over 150 years. With more than 130,000 members and candidates across more than 140 countries, RICS sets and upholds the highest standards in land, property, construction, and infrastructure. Its members help shape the world around us, ensuring the built and natural environments are not only functional but also sustainable, resilient, and inclusive. Through strict qualifications and independent oversight, RICS builds genuine trust in the professionals it certifies.

    Why Your Surveyor Should Be RICS Certified

    Hiring an RICS-certified surveyor means choosing someone committed to excellence, ethics, and expertise. Every RICS member goes through a rigorous assessment and ongoing training to maintain the highest professional standards.
