The Sava Best Practice Standards are designed for residential surveyors who want to produce trustworthy and informative condition surveys for their clients.

If you are a residential chartered surveyor (Associate, Members and Fellows of RICS) or a member of CABE or CIOB, or hold the Diploma in Home Inspection or the Diploma in Residential Surveying/Valuation, you can sign up to use the Sava Best Practice Standards to offer the Sava Home Condition Survey (HCS) which uses our own, bespoke software.

You can view the Sava Best Practice Standards here and view a sample HCS report here.
