International Valuation Standards (IVS)
IVS consists of mandatory requirements that must be followed in order to state that a valuation was performed. Many IVS relate directly to the valuation profession but some do relate to non-valuer activity these are indicated below.
It is advised that you become familiar with IVS as a property professional. You can view the full IVS here.
Guidance Papers Best Practise
Guidance Papers for Property Professionals and Valuers are developed and revised by the Australian Standards Steering Committee and New Zealand Standards Boards. All Valuation Guidance Papers are approved by the New Zealand Institute of Valuers Council (NZIV) for use by its members.
Non-valuation-based papers are adopted by the Standards Board. The documents are effective from the date referenced on each document.
