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.

I used Southdown for a full building survey, and I've been really impressed with both the communication from their offices, and the detail of the survey received. In addition to the normal scope of the survey, I had some specific queries for the surveyor, which he addressed comprehensively. The report contained a lot more detail than I expected, and some of the additional information really saved me some work when I moved in to the property! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Southdown for your house survey.

We appointed Southdown Surveyors to carry out a building survey for our potential purchase. We were very pleased with the detailed and carefully written survey we received, and Michael responded promptly and helpfully to our questions both before and after the work was carried out. Would definitely recommend.

We had the pleasure this year of enlisting Southdown Surveyors for two RICS Building Surveys, both of which were carried out with upmost professionalism. Matthew was meticulous in his reporting of the period properties, both of which were Georgian. He had extensive understanding of the historical significance and potential underlying problems properties of this age may have. Would highly recommend for top notch service and reasonable pricing.

I am extremely happy with the service we received from Southdown Surveyors.The report was very reader friendly and thorough. We were able to see what the concerns were regarding the property and that really helped us. I would highly recommend Southdown Surveyors and we would definately use them again.
