Flude Property Consultants

What Flude Property Consultants does

Flude Property Consultants is an independent, RICS-regulated firm of Chartered Surveyors headquartered in Brighton, United Kingdom, with regional offices in Chichester and Portsmouth. The firm has operated for over 25 years in the South Coast commercial property market and positions itself as one of the largest surveying practices in the South East and South Coast. It advises clients who own, occupy, or invest in commercial real estate across Sussex, Hampshire, and the broader South Coast region, with stated connections extending into London.

The firm delivers a multi-disciplinary service platform organized around seven core offerings: commercial property agency (lettings and sales), auction, real estate recovery, lease advisory, valuation, planning advisory, and property management, complemented by an Investment & Development Advisory service. Underlying technology is limited to a third-party CRM and property search portal (Agencypilot) that powers the public-facing website and a 367+ property listing inventory, with virtual tours hosted on YouTube. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, APIs, or mobile applications.

The business model combines episodic transaction fees from agency and auction mandates with recurring property management fees and project-based professional services revenue (valuation, lease advisory, planning, recovery). Go-to-market is sales-led, executed through direct field engagement across three offices and supplemented by a self-serve online Property Search Portal and Requirement Registration form. Customer segments are horizontal — property owners/landlords, commercial occupiers, property developers, and investors — across industries including retail, housing associations, professional services, and SMEs, with no material customer concentration disclosed.
