Wide-Ranging Surveying & Valuation Services for Residential and Commercial Clients

Detailed property insights, leasehold expertise, and building consultancy in one place
Kingston Morehen offers an expansive suite of surveying services designed to meet the needs of private homeowners, developers, landlords, managing agents, and property investors. These services include:

• RICS Homebuyer Reports and Building Surveys

Whether you’re buying a modern flat or a Victorian terrace, Kingston Morehen delivers RICS Level 2 and Level 3 surveys that provide an accurate, jargon-free assessment of a property’s condition. Level 2 reports focus on common defects, while Level 3 offers an in-depth evaluation of older or more complex properties, including recommendations for repair and maintenance.

• Market and Professional Valuations

Their qualified RICS valuers offer valuations for a variety of legal, financial, and planning needs—including mortgage lending, tax planning, probate, shared ownership, lease extension negotiations, and insurance reinstatement values. These valuations are often crucial in supporting successful legal and financial decisions.

• Lease Extensions and Enfranchisement

Specialists in leasehold matters, Kingston Morehen provides clear, strategic guidance on lease extensions, collective enfranchisement, and valuation under the Leasehold Reform Act. They also assist with dilapidations assessments and lease-end obligations, helping landlords and tenants navigate exit terms fairly.

• Party Wall & Neighbourly Matters

Their surveyors offer support under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, helping property owners manage extensions or alterations that affect adjoining buildings. From notices and condition surveys to party wall awards and dispute resolution, their structured approach keeps projects moving while maintaining neighbourly relations.

• Block and Estate Consultancy

Their block consultancy arm supports freeholders, resident management companies, and managing agents, offering risk assessments, health and safety compliance, communal area reviews, and maintenance planning. This helps protect asset value and ensures landlord obligations are met efficiently.

Personalised, Independent Service That Puts Clients First

Approachable surveyors offering clarity and continuity
One of Kingston Morehen’s most valued strengths is their genuinely personal approach. Clients work directly with experienced chartered surveyors—not call centres or junior intermediaries. This hands-on model ensures clarity, consistency, and transparency from initial instruction through to report delivery and post-survey consultation.

With a tight-knit team of around seven professionals, the firm offers a boutique-style experience, with the depth of technical skill you’d expect from a much larger consultancy. Whether you’re seeking guidance on a one-bedroom flat or a block of leasehold apartments, you’ll get the same attention to detail, responsiveness, and tailored advice.

Clients frequently highlight the friendly communication style, fast turnaround, and ability to explain technical findings in practical, accessible terms. This makes Kingston Morehen particularly popular among first-time buyers, older homeowners, and those unfamiliar with property processes.

Accredited Professionals with Specialist Credentials

Regulated, experienced, and legally informed
As a RICS-regulated practice, Kingston Morehen adheres to industry-leading ethical and technical standards. Their directors—Gavin Lewis MRICS and Kevin Feakins MRICS—lead a qualified team that includes senior surveyors, valuation specialists, and technical consultants. Their in-house team includes Registered Valuers and Expert Witness providers, giving them the capability to handle both everyday surveying work and complex legal disputes.

They are also members of ALEP (Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners), a distinction that reinforces their authority on leasehold issues, enfranchisement claims, and lease extensions. This is especially important in Eastbourne, where many properties are leasehold, and lease reform is a key concern for both landlords and flat owners.

Local Knowledge That Powers Regional Insight

A local practice with extended coverage across Sussex and London
With its main office in Eastbourne, Kingston Morehen has a deep understanding of the local housing stock, planning policies, and common building issues in Sussex towns such as Eastbourne, Seaford, Bexhill, and Lewes. Their insight extends to coastal building risks, heritage conservation restrictions, and Victorian-era structural quirks.

In addition, their team supports projects further afield in Brighton, Kent, Surrey, and even parts of London, bringing their proven surveying expertise to urban, suburban, and rural properties alike. Whether you’re dealing with a sea-facing apartment or a suburban semi, their advice is grounded in both technical accuracy and local context.
