2. What I want to cover Why SAVA ?– Our pedigreeWhat are the new qualifications?Why two of them? What do they look like and how will they be delivered by SAVA ?

3. SAVA – our pedigree o Established in 1999, and conceived by RICS and ISVA o Response to:- o Dispatches o Raise the Roof o An accreditation scheme to oversee the quality of RICS Level 2 “Home Buyers Surveys”

4. SAVA – our pedigree o Government research contract issued 2000 o Drove the development of o Home Condition Report (HCR) o Home Inspector National Occupational Standards o Development of the HI qualification

5. SAVA – our pedigree o Became part of NES in 2003 o Offered the Diploma in Home Inspection, and became a Certification Scheme for HCRs o Significant blow in 2006 when the HCR became a voluntary component of the HIP o In response SAVA created the Home Condition Survey – similar to the HCR, but sold to home buyers

6. Why now? 3. No route for new people to join SAVA or BRE to offer the HCS. Since the HI Diploma is no longer available. 1. There is a shortage of mortgage valuation surveyors with no established way to becoming qualified. SAVA surveyors and DEAs have been asking us to provide a route to become valuers. 2. There is a demand for a more efficient and structured route to becoming Assoc RICS.
