RICS is committed to providing the highest

professional standards and a regulatory framework

market, fostering an environment that can support

innovative ways of working and excellent services.

"If conflicts arise and are notappropriately identified andmanaged, the integrity of theprofession and those in it are atstake. "

Nigel Sellars

This requires a delicate balance between maintaining

the public interest, through robust professional

standards with a clear regulatory environment, and

encouraging RICS-qualified professionals and member

firms to be competitive in their marketplaces. Without

public confidence in the professionalism of those who

are providing surveying services, the long-term value

of the sector will be jeopardised.

The surveying services market is changing and we, as

a self-regulating profession, have a pivotal role to play.

We assure professional competence, enhancing our

status by providing confidence to consumers and

markets. Given the profession’s commitment to best

practice, the focus of our work must be on improving

guidance, competence and quality assurance rather

than regulatory enforcement.

It is important that we continue to provide an

environment allowing new member firms to be

established. Existing members also need to be

allowed to grow, innovate and continue to provide a

range of competitive services to those who need

them. At the same time, consumer protection and the

development of the profession for the public

advantage are at our core. Our Royal Charter requires

us to promote the usefulness of the profession for the

advantage of the public around the world.

Existing RICS guidance

As the wider real-estate sector develops, the public

protection ffered by our standards remains integral to

everything professionals do. The five Global

Professional and Ethical Standards are the foundation

of the profession, as follows.

1. Act with integrity.

2. Always provide a high standard of service.

3. Act in a way that promotes trust in the profession.

4. Treat others with respect.

5. Take responsibility.

Aside from the overarching RICS Rules of Conduct,

which make specific reference to conflicts, there is

currently targeted guidance on conflicts in certain

sectors, including the Conflicts of Interest 1st edition

guidance note for dispute resolution practitioners, and

specific commentary in the Red Book on valuation.

However, there are no currently agreed global

principles in this area.

Conflicts of interest cut across the profession

regardless of geography or specialism. If conflicts arise

and are not appropriately identified and managed, the

integrity of the profession and those in it are at stake.

What constitutes a conflict, and when should a

professional step aside from acting, or proceed with

appropriate management systems in place?

As a regulator, we have to ask and answer these and

related questions. RICS wishes to ensure that all

market participants, members of the public and

governments continue to regard our members as

setting the benchmark for fairness and quality in the

property sector.

Working group

To consider this area, RICS has drawn together a

working group that includes senior RICS staff, member

firms of different types and sizes, industry bodies such

as the Association of Real Estate Funds, the British

Bankers Association, the Investment Property Forum

and the British Property Federation, as well as some of

our members’ clients, so as to represent stakeholder

interests as broadly as possible.

This group is chaired by an external solicitor with

extensive experience of conflicts issues in a variety of

professional contexts, and it has drafted, and been the

main sounding board for, the professional statement.

Professional engagement

Engagement with the sector is fundamental to the

success of any new guidance, to enable awareness,

recognition and ultimately adoption. RICS received in

excess of 400 responses to its conflicts questionnaire

in autumn 2015 from trade associations, users of

surveying services and practitioners varying in size and

location.

These demonstrated a range of opinions on how the

respondents interpreted “conflict”, the seriousness

with which it was viewed, and what should be done in

response to such situations arising. The divergence

Share on TShare on LinkShare on FacebookShare on Google+

and strength of opinion illustrated that, whatever form

the eventual professional statement takes, there will be

those who disagree with it. Nevertheless, the working

group has debated this extensively to ensure the

statement itself is consistent and upholds the integrity

of the profession.

"We assure professionalcompetence, enhancing our statusby providing confidence toconsumers and markets"

Nigel Sellars

The professional statement will be a firm global

foundation for those RICS-qualified professionals who

face a potential conflict of interest. Such professionals

and their clients should be clear about what RICS

views as a conflict of interest and what would be

considered a breach of the professional statement.

The statement will evolve through this continued

consultation with the public, consumers, practitioners

and the wider profession.

Building on the autumn 2015 questionnaire and

subsequent stakeholder meetings between May and

July 2016, we asked practitioners and industry

stakeholders from around the world to consider the

draft consultation document.

Downloads of the consultation and responses received

both reached record numbers, illustrating the strength

of feeling and interest in this area. Recurring response

themes included informed consent, information

barriers and related firms, along with sector-specific

comments. We will use your views to develop our

global framework, providing clarity and consistency

across the industry.

Status

This proposed guidance will be global, and as a

consequence of its professional statement status will

contain a blend of mandatory and advisory elements.

More detailed guidance and the application of these

principles in particular specialisms and geographies

will be provided through the appropriate forum, if

applicable, in due course.

RICS-qualified professionals and member firms will be

subject to RICS regulatory discipline should they be

found to be negligent or acting without regard for the

professional statement. The statement will dovetail

with the new International Ethics Standards and will

therefore have the appropriate status in the RICS

standards hierarchy.

Next steps

Following the close of the consultation, the working

group has considered all feedback received. At the

same time, additional meetings with key stakeholders

have taken place. Appropriate amendments are

currently being made to the documents, with

continued engagement across all world regions during

this process to ensure relevance and applicability at a

global level.

It is envisaged that, over time, RICS world regions and

local professional groups will provide additional sector-

specific or regional guidance where appropriate. In the

UK, RICS is currently working on a UK Commercial

Investment Agency Professional Statement, which will

contain mandatory and advisory content to support

the Global Professional Statement to assist members

and practitioners in this sector.

We are conscious that each and every situation is

distinctive, and we do not wish to label categories of

conflict strictly as this would take account of neither

individual circumstances and local practices nor the

judgement of RICS-qualified professionals.

Following the publication of the professional

statement, there will be supporting material including

an FAQ document, as well as training for RICS

professionals.

The professional statement will offer clarity to RICS-

qualified professionals and member firms about what

is expected of them. It will also afford transparency to

the public regarding the seriousness with which RICS

views its members’ conduct.

Minimum EnergyEfficiencyStandardsWhat valuer’s need to know

Share on TShare on LinkShare on FacebookShare on Google+

Andy MilesAndy Miles and Chris BennettChris Bennett highlight what valuers

and lenders need to know about the Minimum Energy

Efficiency Standards.

Following the Energy Act 2011, the Minimum Energy

Efficiency Standards (MEES) were established in 2015

to make it unlawful to let either residential or business

premises that do not achieve a minimum standard,

currently set at an energy performance certificate

(EPC) rating of E. There will be a soft start to the

implementation of the MEES legislation for all new

leases after April 2018, and a ‘hard start’ to the

implementation for all properties by April 2023.

"How are commercial propertyvaluers advising their lending clientswith regard to risk?"

The market has been aware of these proposals for the

last 5 years, and it is clear that the majority of

commercial funds and real-estate investment trusts

have for some time been assessing their existing

portfolios and the assets they have acquired. They

now have plans in place for tackling the letting issues

that will potentially arise in 2018.

But what about lenders who secure debt on

commercial property assets? How do they view the

implications that this legislation may have on assets

that they either have already under charge or propose

to take on? Are lenders fully considering the impact

that this legislation has on both the value of the asset

and future cash flows that service the debt?

Furthermore, how are commercial property valuers

advising their lending clients with regard to risk?

Risk

The single most important aspect for a lender when

assessing credit risk is to consider the likelihood of

repayment, both in terms of principal and interest, and

the implications of the MEES are critical in this regard.

Although there is an awareness of the MEES and in

particular minimum EPC requirements, lending market

convention has yet to evolve to cover all aspects of the

credit implications. For example, there is inconsistency

in approach to the assessment of space that becomes

unlettable, both for the capital expenditure and the

valuation implications of improving such space to at

least an E rating.

In the majority of instances, lenders increasingly

require the borrower to have valid EPCs available or

prepared as part of the due diligence process, to

demonstrate that the minimum rating is currently being

achieved. This can be a condition of funding, and a

lender can also require the implementation of asset

management objectives and a programme of capital

expenditure – irrecoverable through service charge or

sinking fund obligations – to maintain or improve the

EPC ratings.

However, lenders are in general still taking a light-

touch approach to the MEES, in terms of both being

consistent in credit policies and understanding the

underlying EPCs themselves. For example, market

practice would not tend to distinguish between

individual EPCs in terms of their remaining duration or

requirement for re-assessment and the duration of the

loan to which they relate. It should be noted that there

is the real likelihood that ‘older’ EPCs, which currently

have a shelf life of 10 years, could easily mask risk.

Where the EPC was prepared many years earlier, there

is the potential that the asset could have a significantly

poorer rating if it were re-assessed today, given the

ageing of buildings and tightening of regulation. Some

lenders will consider an EPC to be out of date if it is

more than 2 years old and may require a fresh

certificate be prepared by an approved assessor. It

must be remembered, however, that the monitoring of

EPC assessors remains unregulated.

Void periods

Returning to the original observation about credit risk

and repayment, there is a significant chance that

lenders are wrongly assessing void periods, in respect

of vacant space that does not hold the relevant EPC

rating, when they consider new leasing beyond April

2018. The impacts of this are twofold:

1.the introduction of voids – and possibly other

irrecoverable costs such as empty rates or service

charge shortfalls – will reduce the level of rental

income with which to service the debt; and

2.the underlying security could become less valuable

as a result of required capital expenditure that may be

irrecoverable.

Both factors could adversely affect the ability of the

asset to enable repayment of the loan at maturity. In

this instance, the guidance of the lender’s valuation

adviser is of significant importance in terms of

understanding the implications of non-compliance with

the MEES regulations.

Both issues are material because breaches in debt

service levels affect loan ratings for regulated lenders,

lessening the economic performance of loans in terms

of the increased amounts of regulatory capital

employed. Delays in repayment of the loan at maturity

are also important for the deregulated sector, typically

represented by close-ended debt funds with fixed

investment and divestment periods. The materiality of

these issues is compounded by the fact that

properties with non-compliant EPCs would most

typically be found in the secondary or tertiary sectors

of the property market, with possible negative

implications for the long-term availability of credit to

these markets.

Valuers’ role

From a valuer’s perspective, part of preparing a

valuation report for ‘secured lending purposes’ is to

ensure that the lender is advised of the risks to the

potential future value of the asset and the cash flow it

may generate.

EPCs are a potential source of risk, so certificates

must be obtained where available and considered

carefully before the valuation figure is prepared. At this

juncture it is critical that the valuer does not:

• Stray outside their area of competence; or

• Proffer advice or make assumptions that then

prejudice their own professional indemnity insurance.

The valuer may identify where risk exists, but must

recognise their limitations and only incorporate likely

capital expenditure charges, having obtained them

from a reliable source and discussed them with the

client; the report must refer to the source of figures.

So what should the valuer be seeking? If the property

asset is being traded, then the valuer must request the

EPC or EPCs; failing that, they should consult the EPC

Registers. It is possible that, if the property is not

being traded – for instance, because it is being

refinanced – or existing lettings pre-date the 2008

legislation, certificates may not be available, although

these situations are becoming rarer.

The valuer must ensure that they have sight of the

‘recommendation’ section of the certificate, because

this often becomes separated from the rating page.

That section will at least give directives as to what can

be done in the short, medium or longer term to

improve the rating of the asset.

Where a rating is edging towards the danger zone or is

already in the F or G bands, the valuer should advise

that the steps recommended to improve it be properly

costed by a building surveyor or quantity surveyor, as

it is probable that these expenses will fall to the

landlord – the borrower – to meet at lease expiry.

"Lenders should increasingly take a

Share on TShare on LinkShare on FacebookShare on Google+

proactive approach to understandingthe framework for MEES"

If a property is being acquired on the open market, it is

likely that the purchaser has already factored this risk

into the price, although this should not be taken for

granted. It is a situation that needs particular

consideration with a refinancing, as a borrower may

not have reflected the cost in their assessment of

market value. In these instances the valuer will need to

focus on ensuring that any risk is taken into account

and the lender advised accordingly.

If preparing a vacant possession assessment, the

valuer should certainly be looking to factor these costs

in to it to ensure the hypothetical building is fully

marketable.

Vigilant lending

To mitigate risks, lenders should increasingly take a

proactive approach to understanding the MEES

framework and its implications for their own loan

portfolios, whether these comprise new or historical

loans. Steps that should be implemented include

obtaining EPCs in respect of all space subject to the

MEES and considering the duration of the EPCs

relative to loan length. For non-compliant EPCs,

lenders should ensure that the borrower has set aside

sufficient capital and should also obtain professional

advice as to the feasibility of implementing the

programme in terms of both cost and time.

All of the above demonstrates that communication

between the valuer, the lending client and the borrower

is paramount.
