Auctions/Land & Development We are devotees of the auction sale, for not only does it establish and demonstrate the market value but also because it is the fairest way to deal with prospective buyers in competition. Auction sales are only held when we believe the property is suitable and details will be posted in this section of our website and in the news column. From time to time we have other properties suitable for development, agricultural land and other interesting properties The practice was founded by Clifford Dann in 1956 since when we have remained determinedly independent and professional. Our Head Office is located in the county town of Lewes and our branch network covers the central Sussex area. Although Sussex based, our work is widespread, particularly in the field of planning and commercial property. Most principals and associates are chartered surveyors.
