520			_aThe proposed RICS Residential stock condition survey code of practice 1st edition, is a comprehensive guide outlining key concepts of a stock condition survey, legal and regulatory frameworks, how to prepare for a survey, useful information around post-survey tasks and on implementing changes for the next phase of stock condition surveys that will improve the process and likelihood of a successful outcome. The code has been developed not just for RICS members and member firms but for housing associations, combined and local authorities, arms-length management organisations (ALMOs) and other organisations involved in stock condition surveys. By having a consistent code that can be used across all housing, we are ensuring that the highest levels of professionalism and integrity can apply. While the geographic scope of this standard is England and Wales, many of the principles are globally applicable and may support RICS members outside these jurisdictions. Consultation opened 8 December 2025 and closes 27 January 2025
