Housemartins Surveyors Ltd

We aren't just another firm of surveyors; we are your independent partners in property. Established in 2004, Housemartins Chartered Surveyors has grown steadily by building a reputation for trust, honesty, and a level of technical expertise that only comes with decades in the field.

Our team, led by Managing Director Lee Potterton BSc (Hons) MRICS, brings together over 80 years of combined experience. Whether you are buying a modern apartment, managing a residential block, or restoring a Grade II listed building, we ensure the best-suited specialist handles your instruction.

Specialists in Historic Homes and Seafront Challenges

Living on the coast brings unique structural challenges. We possess extensive knowledge of both historic and modern construction, with a particular awareness of the issues facing seafront properties. From salt spray erosion to traditional timber frames, we know what to look for.

Our expertise in Historic and Listed Buildings means we don't just see a property; we see its history and its future. We provide the nuanced advice required to maintain these assets while complying with strict conservation standards.

Professional Block Management with a Surveyor’s Eye

What sets our property management division apart is that we have surveying expertise under one roof. We manage long leasehold properties with a focus on transparency and robust common sense.

• Organised Administration: We handle service charges and reserve funds with professional rigour.
• Independent Oversight: Our maintenance assessments are based solely on keeping the premises in good repair, free from private interests.
• Legal Compliance: We navigate the complexities of Landlord and Tenant law so you don't have to.

Modern Technology for Traditional Buildings

We believe in using the best tools for the job. That’s why we’ve integrated Drone Surveys and Thermal Imaging into our workflow. These technologies allow us to inspect hard-to-reach roofs or identify hidden heat loss and dampness without invasive measures, saving our clients time and money.

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

Tailored Defect Investigations

Not every property needs a full survey. If you are concerned about a specific crack, a patch of damp, or a roofing issue, we offer Limited Inspections for Defect Investigations. We can tailor our services to your specific concerns, providing professional clarity without the cost of a comprehensive report.
