Rating Consultancy - Code of Practice (3rd edition)
This Code of Practice has been jointly adopted by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation (IRRV) and the Rating Surveyors’Association (RSA). RICS Rules of Conduct require that any member (or any person acting on his or her behalf) shall not act in a manner which compromises or impairs, or is likely
to compromise or impair, compliance with any codes of the Institution which are in force at the time. RICS members are therefore required to comply with this Code of Practice.
Under the IRRV Code of Conduct it is the duty of every member in private practice to comply with the contents of this document. This Code of Practice has also been endorsed by the executive committee of the RSA on behalf of their membership which is in any event, individually, subject to the RICS Code of Conduct.
When an allegation of professional negligence is made against a surveyor, the court is likely to take account of any relevant code published by RICS, IRRV and RSA in deciding whether or not the surveyor acted with reasonable competence.
Failure to comply with this Code of Practice is likely to be adjudged negligent.
