Practical Valuation Compliance. Built for Real Firms.
We help RICS-regulated valuation firms implement and evidence compliance with RICS standards.
Valuation compliance is evolving
In the upcoming RICS Valuation Compliance Framework (VCF), firms are increasingly expected to demonstrate not just adherence to professional standards such as the RICS Red Book (Valuation – Global Standards), but clear, documented systems that evidence how compliance is achieved in practice.
We provide independent, practical support to help you implement proportionate compliance frameworks, designed to stand up to scrutiny without adding unnecessary complexity.
Our services enable you to outsource compliance review work on a flexible basis, ensuring adherence to valuation standards while avoiding the cost of permanent staff.
From good practice to demonstrable compliance
Many valuation firms already follow good professional practice. The challenge is increasingly about evidence, consistency, and oversight.
Firms are now expected to demonstrate:
- A documented compliance approach, not informal processes
- Clear governance and accountability
- A robust audit trail across valuation files
- Evidence of ongoing monitoring and improvement
Without a structured approach, even well-run firms can struggle to show compliance in a way that satisfies external review.

We work with valuation firms to design and implement compliance systems that are:
Proportionate
Aligned to your size and complexity.
Practical
Designed to work day-to-day.
