Why verified professionals matter

Anyone can claim to be a qualified surveyor or conveyancer. We check they actually are — before they appear on the directory.

The problem

The problem with unverified directories

Most online directories let anyone list themselves as a professional with no checks whatsoever. That means homebuyers and property owners can end up contacting unqualified, uninsured, or even struck-off practitioners — often without realising it until something goes wrong.

How our verification works

Every professional on this directory has been independently checked against the relevant regulatory register before their listing goes live. Here is exactly what we verify.

01

Professional registration

We check the applicant's membership number against the public register of their regulatory body — RICS, RPSA, FCA, SRA, CLC, IStructE, or ICE. We confirm the registration is current and in good standing.

02

Regulatory body registration

We cross-reference the applicant's membership or registration number against the public register of their regulatory body — RICS, RPSA, FCA, SRA, CLC, IStructE, ICE, or the relevant body for their profession. We confirm the registration is current and in good standing.

03

Business identity

Where the professional operates as a limited company, we cross-reference their Companies House registration number to confirm the business is active and the applicant is a registered director or officer.

04

Document review

Applicants upload supporting documents — practising certificates, FCA confirmation letters, membership certificates, and insurance schedules. Our team reviews each document for authenticity and currency.

05

Annual re-verification

Verification is not a one-time event. We re-check every listing annually to ensure registrations remain current and insurance has not lapsed.

FAPPNY is an information directory only — it does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the work of any listed professional. Listing on this directory is not a substitute for your own due diligence: always verify a professional's current registration directly with their regulatory body before engaging them. FAPPNY is not an estate agency, surveying practice, or regulated firm in its own right in the capacity of a directory operator. Polestar Property Services Ltd operates separately as a building surveying consultancy and holds its own professional registrations in that capacity; those registrations do not extend to or cover the FAPPNY directory product.
