THE eyes of chartered surveyors around the world will be on their North-East colleagues this month as they take part in a special professional survey.

All 3,000 members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in the North-East are being sent a questionnaire which is designed to reveal their views about the institution.

Regional director Peter Miller said: "We are the only region in the country to do this."

He added: "The results will be fascinating to the 110,000 chartered surveyors working here and abroad as well as to ourselves."

The survey will also be available for chartered surveyors to fill in and return online at www.rics. org.co.uk/northeast
