New Diplomas in Residential Surveying and Valuation are due to be unveiled tomorrow.

They will be launched at the Residential Property Surveyors Association annual conference at the Building Research Establishment in Watford.

The new qualifications, which are recognised by the RICS, are designed to set new standards for residential surveyors and valuers, and provide a clear pathway for those interested in a career in residential surveying.

The conference, sponsored by Countrywide Surveyors and esurv, is open to all surveyors and anyone interested in a career in surveying.

There may be a few places left at the conference, where Peter Bolton King of the RICS is to be among the speakers.

Anyone interested should contact emily@rpsa.org.uk or call 08714 237189.
