API is pleased to announce that International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) joins International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), WAVO and Property Institute of New Zealand in hosting the upcoming Global Property Congress. We invite you to join us in Sydney from May 26-29 for this exciting event. Further details will be shared in the New Year, so please save the date.

The API standards team have undertaken a review of the Valuation Protocol published by the API on 3 September 2021 and updated the content, including changes to the sample clauses based on legal input and the addition of another scenario for when the Valuer has confirmation that the cladding is compliant. This Valuation Protocol comes into effect on 1 January 2025. The API permits and encourages earlier adoption.

RMIT University's School of Property, Construction, and Property Management, on behalf of the API, is conducting a survey on how residential valuers assess energy-efficient technologies in property valuations. This research aims to investigate how valuers currently understand this emerging issue and identify and develop ways to support members as we move towards more energy efficient housing stock. The survey takes only 10-15 minutes to complete and responses will be completely anonymous. For any questions or if you need assistance with the survey, please reach out to Dr. Neville Hurst at [email protected].
