Methodology
The survey was undertaken in September by PSD Group, which specialises in senior level search and selection across the residential & property sector. There were two elements to the research: an attitudinal survey that targeted approximately 7,000 individuals at senior management to director level across the residential sector and data from placements made by PSD in 2016.
For further information on the survey please contact Elliot Course, Associate Director at PSD Group on either 0207 970 9792 or elliot.course@psdgroup.com
