What makes RICS different from other UK estate organizations?
One major difference
between the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is that it is
recognized by the UK government as a Designated Professional Body (DPB).
During 2005, their application was successful and as a new DPD they
have the mandate to "maintain and promote the usefulness of the
profession for the public advantage"
When reputation is your
most important asset as an estate agent in the UK this type of
national recognition is very important to helping clients trust
their estate agents. Buying property is often the single biggest
purchase people make in their lifetimes. Because of this it is
important they trust the property agent who is responsible for
helping them either buy, sell or let their home.
