Are there any minimum requirements for joining VAS? Main signatories on reports must have at least 2 years’ post qualification experience. Any counter-signatories must have at least 5 years’ post qualification experience.
Do I invoice the applicant directly? No, VAS will take payment of valuation fees prior to the valuation being carried out. This avoids the potential for disputes with applicants further down the line. Your invoice should be addressed to VAS and submitted with your completed report.
Does it cost me anything to join VAS? No, it doesn't cost our surveying firms anything to be part of our valuation panel.

What happens once any amendments have been made? We will submit your report as final to the lender. You will also receive a notification by email that we have submitted your report.

When can I submit my fee invoice? You can submit your fee invoice to us as soon as you receive notification that we have submitted your report.
