Hobdens Property Management Ltd

About the Company

Hobdens are a family run Managing Agent based in Littlehampton, West Sussex. Formed in 1946, Hobdens have been located in the town ever since and moved into new offices in Beach Road in 2008.

We cover the whole of the West Sussex area, with focus on the coastal area between Portsmouth and Brighton. We have experience in handling all shapes and sizes of leasehold development, from converted properties to purpose built blocks and also specialise in the management of private estates, which often have a mix of leasehold and freehold property. Our Clients vary from Resident Management Companies, Right to Manage Companies, investor freeholders to developers. Hobdens also have expertise in managing retirement housing, and manage a number of such developments in the locality.

Because we only manage properties in our local area, we can offer a personal service to Clients and pride ourselves on this. Everything we manage is within an hour’s drive from our office and the vast majority are within half an hour so we can quickly be on site in the event of a problem and are able to inspect properties regularly. We can offer meeting room facilities at our offices, for Board Meetings or Annual General Meetings (the latter for small companies only)
