Members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) working across all sectors of the property market in Europe continue to earn more on average than their non-chartered counterparts, according to the 2008 RICS and Macdonald & Company salary survey. The report, which polled more than 800 people, indicates that the credit crunch, the current fall of property prices or recent exchange rate movements have had an impact on the salary trends, affecting notably those persons working in the residential property sector.
