She hopes to gain some clients of her own.

CA stands firm in RICS row

Article Abstract:

The UK Consumers' Association (CA) has become involved in a dispute with the UK chartered surveyors' body, the RICS, over standards of surveying. The CA argues that the RICS does not provide enough protection for homeowners from surveyors who do not do their job properly. The RICS argues that such allegations are untrue and the CA is being sensationalist, while homeowners often create problems by refusing to have carpets removed so property can be inspected.
