The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys. Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine Which? and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public. Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of Which? readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of Which? readers are unlikely to be typical.Main Topics: A comprehensive study of surveyors which includes a detailed consideration of surveyors' reports (e.g. appraisal of information contained, usefulness, accuracy, cost, etc); cost of the survey (particularly accuracy of estimate given); professional status of surveyor employed; reason respondent had for having property surveyed and how she chose the surveyor used and, finally usefulness/outcome of survey (e.g. respondent was able to make a lower offer for the property). Background Variables Date survey commissioned, region of surveyed property, number of floors surveyed, approximate age of property, size (i.e. number of rooms), condition property appeared to be in to respondent, asking price of property and price actually paid and finally, number of properties respondent has bought and had surveyed.
