Residential Surveying.
Education and technical resources to support the residential surveying sector.
The work of residential surveyors is vital
There are 29 million residential properties in the UK, with a combined value of over £7.4 trillion. They are a national asset of the highest social and economic importance. And at an individual level, the home provides belonging, identity and privacy.
Residential building surveyors keep the housing market moving by giving homebuyers critical information on the most important purchase of their life.
They also provide expert valuations to enable mortgage lenders to manage their lending risk, as well as specialist advice on issues such as technical defects, low energy retrofit, and legal disputes.
Sava provides training and qualifications enabling new entrants to join the residential surveying profession, and also supports existing surveyors to develop their skills and knowledge. We keep the sector informed through newsletters, technical bulletins and an annual careers fair and conference for those working within residential building surveying.
Discover the varied and interesting work of a residential surveyor
No two residential properties are ever identical.
Over time they are modified, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. As a residential surveyor and valuer, you are the eyes of the new purchaser and their lender. With experience under your belt, there are many opportunities to specialise and develop your career in different directions.
