Surveyors
and Valuers Accreditation:
Surveyors and Valuers
Accreditation is an independent standard setting body for property practitioners
who are members of the The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
The assurance that work is being undertaken to recognised levels of
competence is important for the maintenance of public confidence. For
surveyors and valuers to enjoy the benefits of describing themselves
as 'SAVA Accredited', they are required to satisfy the rigorous criteria
set by SAVA.
Customers and Clients of SAVA Accredited Surveyors not only have the
assurance that their chosen practitioner has been assessed against the
SAVA criteria, but that the work of that practitioner is subject to
scrutiny and audit by SAVA whenever necessary. Loss of his/her accreditation
can follow if work is not found to be up to the recognised SAVA standards.
As if this was not enough to maintain and build the public's confidence
in their home buying exercise, SAVA is developing new products to add
greater 'peace of mind' for those involved in buying a home. The first
of these is the SAVA Approved 'Hidden Defects Insurance', which is only
available to clients of SAVA Accredited Surveyors and Valuers. (A leaflet
is available fully describing this exciting new product.)
Surveyors and Valuers perform a significant and valuable role in the
complex process of home buying and selling by giving impartial and professional
advice. The engagement of a SAVA Accredited surveyor and valuer gives
the consumer the assurance that the necessary skills have recently been
tested and that they are up to standard.
