WHAT IT MEANS
What RICS regulation means for clients
RICS regulation means AltMarkt operates within a recognised professional framework. This includes expectations around ethics, competence, professional indemnity insurance, complaints handling and responsible business practice.
For clients, this matters because estate advice is never abstract. It can influence investment priorities, building condition decisions, project delivery, long-term planning and the way organisations manage property risk.
Working with a RICS Regulated Firm gives clients confidence that advice is being provided by a consultancy that accepts professional accountability for how it operates and the standards it works to.
AltMarkt’s RICS firm status can be independently verified through the RICS Firm Directory.
