What’s happening behind the scenes in the blocks you manage?

Small defects can become expensive problems when they go unnoticed. Regular condition assessments can help managing agents spot developing issues early, understand what needs attention and plan works before they become urgent.

A little foresight can make a big difference to long-term maintenance costs.

Nearly 40 years in property – meet Derry Green! 🚀

When you’re surveying a property, experience matters — and Derry has plenty of it. He began his career in estate agency in 1986, working across residential and commercial sales and lettings before qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor in 1997. He joined Sussex Surveyors in 2018 and is also an RICS Registered Valuer.

From Building Surveys and HomeBuyer Surveys to mortgage, probate and matrimonial valuations, Derry brings a wealth of practical property knowledge to every instruction.

He also knows his patch. For more than 20 years, Derry has covered the South Coast from Peacehaven to Hastings and Rye, and inland to Tunbridge Wells.

Decades of experience, extensive local knowledge and a safe pair of hands when it comes to property.

We’re very pleased to have Derry as part of the Sussex Surveyors team.

What’s really causing that damp patch, crack or leak?

Building defects aren’t always as straightforward as they first appear. Dampness, for example, can have a number of different causes, and treating the symptoms without identifying the source can mean the problem simply returns.

In this case study, we look at defect diagnosis and how a detailed investigation can help identify the underlying cause of issues including damp, cracks, decay, roof leaks and faulty windows.

Getting the diagnosis right is an important first step towards carrying out the right remedial work and avoiding unnecessary expense.

Is your block planning ahead for future maintenance?

When managing a block of flats, waiting until something goes wrong can often lead to higher costs, unexpected bills and disruption for residents.

A long-term maintenance plan helps freeholders, managing agents and residents understand what work is likely to be required over the coming years – from roof repairs and external decorations to windows, drainage and other major building elements.

By taking a proactive approach, you can:
✓ Identify maintenance priorities before they become urgent
✓ Plan budgets and service charge expenditure more effectively
✓ Reduce the risk of unexpected major costs
✓ Help protect the condition and value of the building
✓ Make informed decisions about when works should be carried out

Our team can provide professional advice and condition assessments to help you understand your building’s current and future maintenance requirements.

Making responsible choices for a more sustainable future.

Reducing our environmental impact is something we all have a part to play in, and for us, that means looking at the everyday choices we make as a business.

We’re pleased to have received our Zero Carbon Electricity for Business Certificate from British Gas, confirming that 100% of the electricity supplied to Sussex Surveyors is covered by the certificate from July 2026 to July 2028.

It’s another practical step in our ongoing efforts to operate more responsibly, reduce our environmental impact and make sustainability part of the way we work.

The Property Market Is Changing – Do You Really Know What You’re Buying?

When buying a property, it’s easy to focus on the asking price, mortgage repayments and deposit. But the true cost of owning a home can go much further.

Damp, roof defects, cracking, structural issues, drainage concerns or poorly executed alterations may not always be obvious during a viewing – but they could have a significant impact on your budget after you move in.

An independent property survey can give you a clearer understanding of what you’re buying, highlight potential future costs and provide the information you need to make a more informed decision.

In our latest blog, we look at why independent surveys matter more than ever in a changing property market.

A lease extension can seem complicated, particularly when a lease has fallen below the important 80-year mark.

In this case study, we look at how careful preparation, professional valuation advice and negotiation helped a client achieve a successful outcome with their lease extension.

It’s a useful example of the value of understanding your position, being well prepared and getting the right advice throughout the process.
