Bayleys Property Services and Bayleys Valuations have obtained accreditation from the Property Institute to operate in four areas it monitors.
Bayleys is the first organisation in New Zealand to receive the accreditation.
The four disciplines under the Property Institute of New Zealand’s auspices include property management, property valuation, property advisory services and infrastructure/plant/machinery valuations.
The institute operates a quality assurance accreditation system, which requires members to display professionalism and expertise in service delivery.
The programme is independently audited.
Meanwhile, Bayleys Valuations plant and machinery valuer John Freeman has become the first person in New Zealand to attain registration with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as a valuer.
Based in Wellington, Mr Freeman has been with Bayleys Valuations for five years and has been involved with asset valuations for clients such as Wellington International Airport, Westfield NZ, the Government Treasury, Meridian Energy, and film company Weta.
