David Mackmin's Valuation and Sale of Residential Property is an important book that comes at a time of considerable change in the residential market. With Home Inspection Packs (HIPs), Energy Performance Certificates and further Government proposals for consumer protection in the area of estate agency, pending, it is essential for the estate agents to bring themselves up to speed.
These revisions, supported by a team of academics and practitioners who also act as examiners for the National Association of Estate Agents, are integral to giving an honest appraisal of a house’s value. This text is the essential guide for: individuals entering the residential property market seeking guidance on the legal and professional standards expected from estate agents, surveyors undertaking inspections of residential properties and professionals carrying out residential mortgage valuations.
