Valuers Bill

"What happens if a registered valuer does something wrong and gets removed from the list"

Illustration for Valuers Bill

If you are a registered valuer and you do something wrong, the Board might tell the Registrar to remove your name from the register. You can be removed from the register if you are guilty of bad conduct, or if you have been convicted of a serious crime. The Board will look at what you did and decide if you are fit to be a registered valuer. If you are convicted of a crime that can be punished with imprisonment for 2 years or more, or if the crime makes people lose respect for you, the Board might remove your name from the register. The Board will also consider if you did something wrong or unprofessional while working as a valuer. The Board uses a code of ethics to decide what is unethical conduct. If you committed a crime before you became a registered valuer, and the Board already knew about it, they cannot remove your name from the register because of that crime. The Registrar must follow the Board's direction to remove your name from the register. You will no longer be a registered valuer if your name is removed from the register.
