Based on their training and professional competence, those in the profession of estate surveying and valuation all over the world have been known to be key stakeholders towards economic growth.
This group of people, who are known in the United States of America, as ‘’Appraisers’’, in the United Kingdom, as ‘’Chattered Surveyors’’, and in Nigeria, as ‘’Estate Surveyors and Valuers’’, are in many respects pivotal to the well being of their nation and the people.
In Nigeria, estate surveyors and vlauers, usually go with a prefix ESV. They assume this title after the regulator of the profession, Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria (ESVARBON), has considered them fit and eventually registered them to practice as estate surveyors and valuers.
To many, the roles of estate surveyors and valuers in both economic and social development in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized.
Primarily, their roles centre on land and all structures on the land. Both rural and urban dwellers need the services of an estate surveyor and valuer.
