Help Help Please can anyone say who is the ombudsman services that oversee complaints about the RCIS and its members To whom do you report a RCIS member who falsify documents on your behalf and ask you to sign them To whom do you report a RCIS member who prepares a false report sign and issue it Why the RCIS cannot trace written correspondences sent to their offices and why do you have to send the same correspondence 6 times and wait 5 months for a nancy story reply This organisation is not accountable to no one what a joke These are the people whom the courts and leasehold tribunal rely on as expert witnesses Let s hope the parliamentary scrutiny Committee hold them to be accountable for their poor services

Worse than useless all about protecting their own
Useless arrogant Entirely set up to protect their own members and not the customers We had a decision from the adjudicators that we were owed a substantial sum of money The Rics surveyor didn t pay The adjudicators toothless so you go to Rics and they are unhelpful and slow Hung out to dry What s the point in choosing a RICS surveyor when there s no back up

Awful experience
Awful experience I have hired a surveyor when I bought my 1st property He failed to identify issues that resulted in approximately 10k of additional work in the house I have tried to solve the issue through the complaint handling procedure of the surveyor but he denied any wrong doing therefore I contacted RICS I have sent my complaint on 16-Apr-2022 the report included a second opinion of another surveyor identifying all the issues but I did not receive any answer To me is clear RICS is not there to protect the consumer rights they are there to protect their members I have re-filed the whole complaint Can you have a look and provide at least one answer This is the minimum that you can do

Surveyor Forgot Plan Agreed and Found a Different One RICS Refused to Take Action
We were approached by a surveyor working for neighbour The boundary between our properties had been formally and legally determined in the Deeds for both properties and the surveyor obtained our consent to work on the basis of his submission of one document in which the boundary position was defined TO THE INCH exactly in accordance with the Deeds of both properties The work that was carried out DID NOT CONFORM to the defined boundary The Surveyor then said HE DID NOT RECOLLECT the document he d showed us and instead showed an undated sketch unapproved and undated with multiple lines which he interpreted to show a different boundary I ordered him off and 2 weeks later we saw him climbing the fence to take measurements I sent evidence to RICS but no action was taken

A Dysfunctional Organisation
This organisation pretends to offer reassurance that their qualified members are competent Under the shiny veneer of their media output the truth is they prove themselves incapable of properly investigating serious negligence or taking action against rogue Surveyors in the UK That might sound like sour grapes - well it s the opinion of a Chartered Surveyor with a 40 year career behind him RICS deserves a royal charter about as much as The Post Office

Unprofessional standards
How can a RICS surveyor come to view 2 adjoining staggered properties send my associate a Land Registry plan clearly showing completely straight lines down both sides of their property but in a photo sent to my associate the surveyor cuts off the adjoining side wall standing on my associates property Had the surveyor had time to look at the back of the properties or even taken a few steps down the road he should have noticed the neighbours wall encroaching midway I would also like to see where these identical properties are I have looked myself but cannot find them On complaining to RICS about the dishonest unprofessional work they are clearly only interested in protecting their members not protecting the public And as far as upholding professional standards Need I say more So do not use Guy S Imray from Brown Brand Hadleigh Essex
