Property Handbook
Property Handbook
We are delighted to share that we have 2022 version of the former IAVI handbook. The SCSI Property Handbook has been developed to support the high standards to which SCSI members work, including those working within the property sales, rental, acquisition, and management sub-sectors, and to assist with adherence to best practice guidance in the delivery of services to clients.
Each of the chapters are available to view for members below.
The e-book edition of the Property Handbook will be available soon.
Please Note:
This version of the Property Handbook available below was updated in November 2022 by the relevant SCSI Professional Group Committees and it incorporates the latest regulations and guidance.
