Hackett, who was a QS at Schofield Lothian, gained notoriety in the RICS for his criticisms of the body鈥檚 treatment of its members, particularly over its fee increases.

Michael Byng, chairman of the RICS鈥� QS and construction faculty, said: 鈥淛eremy was a spirited individual, and although he may not have been to everyone鈥檚 taste, he was the conscience of us all. He read the rules and asked the questions that others perhaps would not. He will be much missed.鈥�
