While there is no current regulation in place to provide standards for property investment advisers, anyone who offers advice in this area should be educated to a suitable level, and practice to a subscribed code of conduct.

All full PIPA members must have, or be working toward obtaining, the qualification of Qualified Property Investment Adviser (QPIA®) which is available by completing the PIPA Accreditation Program. This course has undergone intense scrutiny and ongoing development to ensure its relevence in the workplace and  to provide a high standard of best practice for all of our members.

Property Investors can go a long way toward self protection by ensuring that anyone who assists them with property investing has undertaken the course and is a member of PIPA.
