As the founder of Southdown Surveyors back in 2006, Matthew’s commitment to providing honest, straight-talking professional advice and his dedication to producing high-quality technical work has earned the practice a good, solid reputation that in return, sees the benefit of much repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendation.
As Director of the practice, Matthew remains consistently aware of the high expectations of his clients, and consequently strives to meet and exceed those expectations.
Prior to Southdown, employment in London and Brighton based practices, working in varying professional areas, has resulted in him gaining the necessary experience and expertise to provide a particularly wide breadth of service offering.
He finds the ‘challenges’ that contentious Party Wall and Dilapidation matters so often bring, particularly interesting – and is therefore committed to continually increasing his knowledge in these areas. He is a member of The Pyramus and Thisbe Club – which promotes excellence in party wall practice.
Matthew’s initial post-education training as an Architectural Technician has further equipped him with the additional expertise of computer aided design (CAD) skills and an architectural design interest.
Outside of the practice, Matthew enjoys spending time with his young twin girls, renovating his home and ‘wild-camping’ in the woods!
Having assisted Matthew in running the practice since 2008, Lisa strongly shares Matthew’s commitment to providing a down-to-earth, honest and reliable offering to clients.
‘Personal service’ is high on the list of priorities when it comes to the ethos embraced by Southdown, so Lisa is always keen to ensure that as a team, the best possible attention is given to all clients. Together Lisa and Matthew have strived to develop the company to what it is today.
After a short break from the practice following the arrive of twin baby girls, Lisa has reprised her role as an active Director in the practice; offering support and guidance to all her team members ensuring happy-ship is always sailing! She oversees the day-to-day practice management, regulatory compliance and financial administration.
As is the case for all working mums, Lisa juggles her commitment to the practice with her commitment to young twins – who can from time to time be found happily occupying a desk in the office!
We have received your building survey report and would like to thank you for a complete and detailed report. We found Southdown to be a very professional and flexible company to deal with and would have no hesitation in recommending you in future.
