Housemartins Management Limited

Why East Sussex Leaseholders Trust Our Expertise

Managing a block of flats is like running a complex business. It requires a deep understanding of landlord and tenant legislation, building construction, and financial transparency. Since 2004, we have operated as an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors and property managers, dedicated to protecting the investments of leaseholders across Seaford, Eastbourne, Bexhill, and Hastings.

We believe that management is, at its heart, a people business. We work closely with directors and leaseholders to ensure that communication is clear and that every decision is backed by robust common sense.

Surveying and Management Under One Roof

The distinct difference that sets us apart from other managing agents is our dual expertise. Because we are Chartered Surveyors, we provide a complete service that includes the professional supervision of major works—a task that many other agents are forced to outsource. This saves our clients both time and money while ensuring technical excellence.

Advanced Technology for Proactive Maintenance

We don't just wait for problems to arise; we use modern technology to identify issues before they become costly repairs. Our team utilizes drone surveys and thermal imaging to conduct thorough defect investigations and roof inspections. This proactive approach allows us to build accurate service charge budgets and long-term financial forecasts that leaseholders can actually afford.

Our Commitment to Professional Standards

We are proud to be accredited ARMA-Q members. In our first audit by ARMA and RICS, we achieved an “outstanding” certification for our working practices. This isn't just a badge to us; it’s your guarantee of peace of mind.

"Our assessment of what must be done and when is independent of private interests, based solely upon our duty to keep your premises in good repair."
