Regulatory Framework and Professional Bodies for Auctioneers & Valuers
The operations of auctioneers and valuers in Kenya are strictly governed by specific legal statutes to ensure professionalism, transparency, and accountability. Key legislation includes the Auctioneers Act, Cap 526, which provides for the licensing and regulation of auctioneers, outlining their powers, duties, and scale of fees. Similarly, the Valuers Act, Cap 532, regulates the practice of valuers, setting out qualifications, registration requirements, and ethical guidelines. These acts are complemented by subsidiary legislation and professional codes of conduct. Oversight is also provided by professional bodies such as the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), which has a role in approving auctioneers, and the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK), which governs valuers. Additionally, relevant sections of the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Companies Act, 2015, often dictate the context in which auction and valuation services are required, particularly in cases of court-ordered sales or company liquidations. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures all its services are delivered by licensed professionals, in full compliance with these intricate legal and professional frameworks, guaranteeing legal validity and client protection.
