The Red Book is a colloquial term for the mandatory rules and best practice guidelines issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The current version is the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2022 and it is revised and updated every few years, in accordance with the International Valuation Standards. The Red Book sets out standards that the members of the RICS should follow and includes valuation bases, reporting, inspections, ethics, duty of care and valuer qualifications. A Red Book valuation can only be carried out by an RICS Chartered Surveyor who is a member of the Valuation Registration Scheme.
