Kingston Morehen

Used Kingston Morehen for a homebuyers report and valuation on a property purchase in the Eastbourne area in July 2019.Fantastic service all round, especially from Carol who organised everything and from Gavin the Surveyor who detailed everything about the property very well and was very helpful and accommodating with my follow up questionsWould highly recommend and will use them again for any other property purchases I may have in the future

Very knowledgeable chartered surveyors, with many specialities, gave excellent advice and a full report. Very easy to do business with and a very professional attitude to their relationship with their clients. Highly Recommended.

Used Kingston Morehen for my lease extension valuation. Gavin Lewis explained every step and potential risks . Very professional , excellent service. I was given very honest and expertise advice. Highly recommended.

We retained Kevin Feakins of Kingston Morehen to manage the repair and redecoration of Georgian terrace house in Central London which has been converted into flats. His expertise and attention to detail throughout the project was very impressive. We will certainly work with him again in the future and would recommend him for similar projects.

I've worked with Kevin Feakins on 2 property renovations and can't think him enough. His advice was spot on and alerted me to issues that needed resolving as well as advising me on the solutions to solve these problems. He's professional and friendly and I would thoroughly recommend him and Kingston Morehen.

A excellent service. Gavin Lewis did a homebuyers survey for us and it was well worth it. He was very thorough in his inspection and answered any questions we had quickly and comprehensively.

We have had a great experience with Kingston Morehen so far, dealing with a party wall matter. Very clear and concise communication and a quick turnaround on paperwork.

This company produced a flawed report about a property driveway that had a financial impact of £3576 on Leaseholders in an adjacent property. The location was in Cherwell Road, Heathfield, East Sussex.The overall construction of the 9 page report was biased in favour of the ‘driveway’ owner and was flawed to the extent that it lacked any technical details at all. These details were easily obtained by myself as a layman in one hour including phone calls and travelling time.The report failed to state the age of the Driveway, 53 years, sub standard single layer asphalt laid on broken bricks, no edging, a gradient of 31/33 degrees, built within half a meter of the boundary and excavated half a meter into the area of potential roots from adjacent mature trees near the boundary. These facts were completely ignored in the report.As a result of this flawed incomplete report I made a complaint in the first instance to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and after two acknowledgements, i received nothing else. Perhaps this organisation has ‘Royal’ in its title is because it stands aloof from the public !I subsequently approached CABE who were responsive to my complaint, however after six months of deliberations they decided there was no case to answer.Kingston Morehens report appears to be the ‘Layman's standards’ to which CABE attempt to aspire to and not the Professional standards one would expect.

Kevin Feakins and Kingston Morehen provided great service to our Charitable Trust in providing an assessment of and maintenance plan for our War Memorial Chapel.The report was very clear and succinct and has given the Trust reassurance and a sound basis in going forward. Very professionally executed and data and feedback clearly presented.

After four frustrating years of trying to sort damp in a ground floor party wall in our home (over 100 years old), we approached five different firms of surveyors with expertise in older buildings and with party walls, and chose Kevin Feakins of Kingston Morehen in Eastbourne because:- he took time over the phone to fully understand the situation we were in;- he asked by far the most questions, and the most searching questions;- he seemed very knowledgeable and experienced;- he asked for copies of any existing surveys; and offered to do desktop research (without charge);- he said he would let us know if he thought he could help us;- he gave us at each stage a clear idea of timescales (when he would be able to do the desk research, and the lead time for visiting if he was going to visit).He gave us a reasonable quote and visited speedily once we had agreed it. He spent 2.5 hours exploring the problem more thoroughly and in more detail than anyone else had ever done, very clearly summarised the issue, and proposed a range of solutions - one of which we have adopted. He was very pleasant, very efficient and we are now sorting our damp at long last!We would very highly recommend him and his firm.
