Philip Exposes another Rogue Party Wall Surveyor

Mr. Shaun Alexander is not RICS member despite using their logo on his station as of the 18.01.2021.

Mr. Shaun Alexander trades as a surveyor offering various surveying services including being a party wall surveyor.  Under his company Alexander Surveying Services www.alexandersurveyingservices.co.uk.

Mr. Alexander or indeed Alexander Surveying Services surprisingly incorporates the RICS logo.  Neither a person nor an organization can incorporate the RICS logo www.rics.org unless they are a member of the RICS and regulated by them.

Mr. Alexander’s approach caused me concern about his knowledge of the Act and generally surveying principles and my suspicion was confirmed when checking with the RICS online “check a member’s status” www.rics.org/uk/?search-check+a+members+status.  I was able to establish that Mr. Shaun Alexander is nota member of the RICS.  That poses a very important question, why would either an independent person or in this case, a company, seek to promote themselves as being associated with a particular professional body when they are not.  Is it for the purpose of misrepresenting their company?

Was the misrepresentation for the purposes of portraying some form of credibility by purporting to be a member of this organization when they do not have a right?

Does this approach comply with principles of trading standards?

Does this demonstrate a lack of honesty and integrity?

Was there an intent to deceive?

These are all questions that only Mr. Alexander can answer and he is invited to do so on this forum.

As far as I can establish he is not a member of the FPWS. www.fpws.co.ukor www.partywalls.org.ukor www.ipws.co.ukin fact he does not have affiliations

I can advise that we have drawn this to the attention of the RICS and they are taking action.
