What is a Chartered Surveyor?


RICS Chartered Surveyors are highly trained experts who conduct surveys, checking for structural issues and defects, calculate a property's value and list recommendations for potential problems. They provide impartial, specialist advice relating to residential, commercial and rural properties, providing a diverse range of services.

This can include the RICS Homebuyer report, the RICS Building Survey (for an in-depth look at the condition of a property) or the RICS Condition report (a review of the state of conventional residential property).

Harding Chartered Surveyors work with a range of people including homeowners, architects, engineers, property developers and business owners to provide services that protect your investments, ensuring confidence in your decisions.


What do Chartered Surveyors do?


Chartered Surveyors work in various roles connected with land, property and construction.This can include checking properties for structural defects, identifying future issues and valuing properties in the residential, rural and commercial sectors. They can also provide the potential cost of any repairs or remedial work required on the building in question as well as provide advice on environmental considerations.

When visiting a property, a Chartered Surveyor will conduct a detailed assessment before creating a report. You can use their findings to decide whether to go ahead with a purchase or negotiation, to apply for a mortgage, for insurance or property management purposes, to complete renovations or simply to have an accurate professional valuation of the property.

Difference between a Surveyor and a Chartered Surveyor?


Although the terms ‘surveyor’ and ‘Chartered Surveyor’ may seem to be the same thing, they are not. Anyone in the UK can call themselves a ‘surveyor’, regardless of their qualifications, training, knowledge, experience or lack thereof. Nor do they need to be registered with a governing body or comply with best practice guidelines or standards.

In contrast, the term ‘Chartered Surveyor’ can only be used by those who have undergone rigorous training and have registered with the professional governing body, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. To become a member of the RICS, Chartered Surveyors must have undertaken specific examinations and then passed the respected Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) Assessment to prove their competence.

They must also adhere to their strict rules, guidelines and best practices, and complete the continuing professional development demanded by the RICS. This ensures that customers always receive the highest standard of service as well as complete peace of mind.

When you choose an RICS Chartered Surveyor in London, you know that your investment will be protected, and your financial future will be in safe hands. Any problems such as asbestos, damp, Japanese knotweed, faulty drains, structural problems or roof issues will be identified before they turn into a significant problem.
