Surveying the property found across South Coast
The South Coast covers Regency and Victorian seafront property in Brighton & Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne, Hastings and Bognor Regis, the naval and harbour towns of Portsmouth and Southampton, and the mixed stock of Bournemouth, Poole and Winchester.
Salt-laden air and constant exposure accelerate almost every external defect. Bay fronts, parapets, stucco, balconies, sash windows and metal balustrades all deteriorate faster within sight of the sea, and seafront conversions add shared roofs and communal repair liabilities on top.
We look closely at external fabric, water ingress and the state of previous repairs, then set out what needs doing first and what can reasonably wait.
