About the author

RICHARD COURTENAY LORD, FRICS, FSVA, FNAEA sees himself first and foremost as auctioneer and secondly as a promoter of the merits of independent estate agents. His many years of experience of property auctioning were gained as a partner with a large provincial firm in Gloucestershire. He served as a junior RICS branch chairman and went on to sit on various specialist committees of the RICS and the ISVA. During the 1970s and 1980s he was deeply involved with the creation and promotion of the National Homes Network, the organisation of independent estate agents. In recent years he has lectured on property auctioneering at the University of Glamorgan and at workshop sessions for auctioneers at NAEA, Warwick.
