IPAV

The Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (IPAV) was founded in 1971. It was established to provide an organization for auctioneers and valuers to protect, advance and promote the professional standards of auctioneers and valuers.

IPAV promotes the public interest in the professional competence of its members and protects the interest of its members between themselves, non-members and the general public. Currently IPAV has in excess of 700 practising members.

IPAV provides full-time and part-time education courses to educate existing and aspiring auctioneers and valuers to the high professional standards expected of an IPAV member. In addition to this, IPAV provides continuous professional development and regular publications for its members, keeping them informed of new legislation and practices in all aspects of auctioneering and valuation in Ireland.
