Signature of RICS member

Question 2

Grinhill, Featherstone, what was the basis of measurement for the EPCs?

Answer 2

GIA

Question 3

Talk me through how you measured the property to IPMS2?

Answer 3

I sketched a floor plan on report writing app.
I measured the internal dominant face of the perimeter walls of each floor level using a laser measuring device. If there were areas of the perimeter wall that had more then 50% of a dominate face (i.e. glazing) I would measure to the glazed surface using tape measure or laser and a piece of paper.
I measured using IPMS2 guidance and referred to RICS Property measurement 2018 ensuring I followed the correct measuring technique.
I dated and stated the measurement units in the sketch.
The report then saved automatically into my report which is then signed by myself.

Question 4

Scatcherd Mews, Leeds, why did you discount the internal garage?

Answer 4

As note din the IPMS standards, I noted the internal garage measurements separately in my floorplan to the main property. And did not include this measurement in the total floor area.

Question 5

How did you ensure the accuracy of your measurements?

Answer 5

I measured using a laser measuring device and took multiple measurements to ensure accuracy.

Question 6

Give me another example of a property you have measured using IPMS.
