Rating: Law and Practice 2024

Applying Case Law to Practice

Delivering best and effective rating practice cannot be achieved without understanding case law and the foundations it has been derived from. This event is far more than a case law review. Leading rating advisors along with senior representatives from the VOA and eminent lawyers will review key cases in the context of current practice. Subjects are grouped into rating themes, important and topical cases will be explored to extract best practice for those rating practice areas. The discussions will once again be directed by our chair, Upper Tribunal Judge Elizabeth Cooke.

Service Charge Heads Up: Where Is Best Practice?

CPT has been running training events on service charges since 1994. In those days, best practice was defined by a non-compulsory service charge code, agreed upon and promoted in unison by a number of property bodies. In 2019 it emerged as an RICS Professional Statement, which was mandatory and since it was accepted across the service charge industry, anyone – whether a RICS member or not – was going to be judged by whether they followed it. It had teeth in as much as anyone who was non-compliant had the threat of sanctions and public humiliation. Is it any wonder why it’s one of the top free downloads from the RICS website?

Landlords' Consents

In dealing with landlords’ consents the focus is usually on what is, or is not reasonable on the landlord’s part. This recording considers the up-to-date caselaw on this aspect. It is important to be aware of practical and procedural factors which have an influence on the outcome, whether or not a disputed application ends up in court. Going about things the wrong way can seriously undermine your negotiating position. The module examines relevant Protocols, consider what formal requirements might apply and the conduct of applications more widely. The types of consent addressed will include alienation, alterations and change of use.

Module Duration: 3 hours 1 minutes
