What is your impression on the latest changes in Global Red Book 2022? Why are they important?

The latest changes to the Red Book seem minor, but they are a highly significant change in focus. It’s about bringing the valuation risk caused by seismic shifts in the global real estate market to the forefront of the valuation thought process and reflecting this explicitly in reporting to client.Sustainability and ESG are becoming the most significant drivers of investment decisions across global business. Valuation has to reflect the real world. The Red Book updates are about making clients aware that RICS valuers are on board and in the loop and providing the information that they need.
