Why 77/100, and not 100?
The points below are not deducted: they are not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to check them. Payotte neither estimates nor invents any data.
- Local anchoring in Central Bedfordshire incomplete. The establishment in Central Bedfordshire is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about Central Bedfordshire, the number of deals completed in Central Bedfordshire in the last twelve months, the firm's working languages or speciality. A figure such as the number of deals completed in an area only exists at the firm.
- No checkable distinction found (award, press mention, publication, association). Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
- Regulator stated without an identifier. The firm's website names RICS, without a number you can check yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm does Payotte select as valuer in Central Bedfordshire?
Payotte selects Connells Survey & Valuation as valuer in Central Bedfordshire, with a score of 77/100 (selected · regulator declared).
Is a valuation the same as a survey?
No. A valuation gives a value; a survey describes condition. RICS says the lender's valuation lacks a survey's detail.
Must a valuer be registered?
RICS members doing most valuations must join VRS. We found no rule saying every valuer must be an RICS member.
How does Payotte choose this firm?
Payotte selects a single firm per trade and per area, scored out of 100 points from public data. The public grid has five criteria: Google reviews (35 points), age of the company (30), checkable regulator or register (15), local anchoring (15) and bonus (5). Companies only, never individuals.
Can a firm pay to be ranked?
No. The ranking is never paid for. No firm can buy its place or its recommendation. Payotte is free, with no advertising and no commission.

What does the score of 77/100 mean?
It is an editorial assessment by Payotte, not an official label. A score of at least 70/100 corresponds to a selected listing.
