Martin Lacey Buckley - Chartered Surveyors

Expert Guidance Across the Sussex Property Landscape

We are Martin Lacey Buckley, a team of independent Chartered Surveyors dedicated to providing clear, professional advice for every type of property. Operating from our base at Ludwell Barn in West Hoathly, we serve homeowners, commercial investors, and rural landowners across Haywards Heath, East Grinstead, and the wider West Sussex area.

Whether you are purchasing a period cottage, managing a commercial portfolio, or navigating the complexities of rural land ownership, we bring decades of local knowledge and RICS-accredited expertise to the table. We pride ourselves on being approachable and thorough, ensuring our clients have the data they need to make informed decisions.

Specialists in Older and Altered Residential Homes

Buying a home is likely your largest investment. We specialise in Building Surveys for properties that require a closer look—particularly older, larger, or significantly altered buildings. Our reports don't just list defects; they provide a comprehensive roadmap of potential liabilities, remedial works, and photographic evidence to give you total peace of mind.

Beyond surveys, we provide formal valuations for a variety of needs:

• Home purchases and loan security
• Matrimonial and estate purposes
• Taxation and insurance assessments
• Proactive block management for freeholders and leaseholders

Your Partners in Rural and Equestrian Property

We are one of the few firms in the region with a dedicated Land Agency division. We understand that rural property comes with its own unique set of challenges, from grazing rights to agricultural tenancies.

"We provide specialist advice for equestrian estates, including sand schools, stabling, and land management, ensuring your rural assets are protected and productive."

Our rural services include rent reviews, valuations for financial statements, and expert guidance on planning and development for agricultural land and equestrian facilities.

Strategic Commercial and Development Advice

For our commercial clients, we act as strategic partners. We handle the technical details of Dilapidations and Schedules of Condition, as well as the high-stakes negotiations of rent reviews and lease renewals.

If you are looking to develop, we provide initial appraisals, process planning applications, and manage appeals. Our goal is to maximise the value of your commercial investment through proactive management and expert RICS-compliant valuations for funding and acquisition.
