FRICS is the Fellowship grade of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors—the highest class of individual membership, recognising sustained professional contribution, ethics, and leadership.

At Panorama, a FRICS at the helm translates into governance first: adopting the RICS Rules of Conduct company-wide; sponsoring compliance training; and maintaining evidence-led pricing and valuation discipline across the agency.

Eduardo Fernández-Cuesta FRICS, President of RICS Spain, stated:

“Christopher Clover is today, as he has been for the last 53 years, an outstanding example of leadership and professional commitment in the real estate sector. Christopher comes from a family lineage of more than 120 years in real estate, constantly promoting the collaboration among agencies and serving the public with outstanding professional dedication and ethics. Only individuals recognized within the industry as a leader in their field, whose standing and achievements are beyond question and judged to de extraordinary, are considered for nomination to join RICS through the Eminent Route".

"Also noteworthy are his annual Marbella Property Market Report and many other articles related to real estate that he has been publishing for more than four decades. Christopher has contributed, and still contributes significantly today, to raising the standards of his profession.”

Christopher Clover said

“I am quite surprised and deeply honoured to receive and accept this nomination from the most respected organisation in the real estate world. RICS has my unconditional support in promoting and fostering their work and values”.

• Deal governance: stronger checks around conflicts, transparent co-broking, and documented processes for offers, deposits, and closing.
• Risk management: clear escalation routes and a culture that prioritises proper file-keeping, client-money rules, and indemnity standards.
• Market insight: stewardship of the Marbella Property Market Report and other publications that have informed clients and counterparties for years.

I am quite surprised and deeply honored to receive and accept this nomination from the most respected organization in the real estate world. RICS has my unconditional support in promoting and fostering their work and values.

Panorama Managing Director
