RICS attains Designated Professional Body status

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors has become one of only 10 government recognised Designated Professional Bodies (DPB). RICS is now directly authorised by HM Treasury to license and regulate the thousands of surveyors who provide insurance for their customers, offering a potential direct initial cost saving of up to £1300. By achieving DPB status RICS can provide an alternative option to Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulation with significant potential savings available.
