Robert Nemeth explores Cambridge Grove
THE NO 1 PROPERTY WEBSITE FOR BRIGHTON ARCHITECTURE 07
Building Opinions
Hove is blessed withsome of the finesthidden mews streets
in the country. Some of these hidden
former stable streets arecul-de-sacs, such asNamrick Mews, Albany Mewsand Victoria Grove. I love tovary my route whenever Iwalk anywhere so I amparticularly fond of thosewhich are through roads, likeQueen’s Place, Wilbury Groveand Cambridge Grove, the topic of today’s column.
Cambridge Grove is now in the third phase ofits development. Its 1880s stables weregradually converted into car garages from the1920s. These are now, in turn, being transformedinto homes and offices.
I was recently shown No. 14 by Steven Sparkswho has converted, with the assistance of localarchitect John Turner, a pair of run-downgarages with a flat above into two new self-contained three-bedroomhouses. The exterior has beencompletely overhauled whichhas involved returning one ofthe original windows back to itsoriginal size and position, andremoving fake shutters. Thegenerous height of the downstairs ceilings is unexpected. This, combined withbright white paint and huge windows, makes for a most illuminatingexperience. The two are now for sale with Mishon Mackay.
Another interesting structure is No. 1b, or ‘The Edge’ as it is also known.This modern property was designed by Simon Atkins and Giles Ing from Hove-based ABIR Architects. It was built in the back garden of 36 CromwellRoad, where cars parked previously, which opens onto the east end of themews. The plot was once home to a conservatory; several of which still existin their original form in the neighbouring properties. This is interesting in thatit highlights that the stables on the south side of Cambridge Grove do nothave rear windows. The Edge would no doubt have looked incredibly modernwhen it was completed in 2005, and it still stands out for all of the rightreasons. A similar plot is now vacant on the west end of the street.
It is well known that people don’t look up when they walk along. But in thecase of Cambridge Grove, this is perfectly acceptable as the purple cobbles,perhaps granite, do define the street. Nevertheless, looking above the stabledoors at the original yellow and red Victorian brickwork is a treat too.
Brighton may well triumph when it comes to twittens, but Hove is withoutdoubt king of the [email protected], www.buildingopinions.com

> LEADERS IN WACKYCHRISTMAS PUDDING RACE Leaders were delighted to takepart in the Great ChristmasPudding Race on Saturday 1December to raise money for theMartlets Hospice and CancerResearch UK.
The plucky team of five – CassieGasson, Craig Butcher, ConnieGunn, Spencer Hingston and MattLe MeHaute – entered the raceunder the name of ‘Two Direction’and finished an impressive fourthout of 14 teams.
The teams had to balance aChristmas pudding on a traywhilst negotiating a perilousobstacle course along New Road.It was a wacky challenge ofdexterity, balance, speed andgeneral silliness.
The Great Christmas PuddingRace has been a calendar eventfor 32 years in London and thiswas the second time it took placein Brighton, after raising £16,500for the Martlets Hospice andCancer Research UK in 2010.For more information about thecharities or to make a donation:www.themartlets.org.uk

W hat makes a great block managementcompany? Perhaps a great deal of careand attention with all their clients?
Treating tenants, lessees and freeholders all withthe same respect? An unrivalled knowledge of theindustry? A clear pricing structure withoutunexpected charges and fees? A company wherethe staff are valued and feel proud to representwhat the owners have built up?
Well, if these ingredients are necessary, thenPepperfox is a great block management company.Launched in 2004, the company is steadilygrowing, and has now recruited two more propertymanagers to their team of ten. “All the propertymanagers at Pepperfox have succeeded inqualifying for the industry standard exams, AIRPM[Associate of the Institute of Residential PropertyManagement]” explains Steve Gardner, one of thebusiness partners alongside Gareth Elliott. Steveis proud to invest time, money and energy intoempowering staff and developing a great teamspirit and one can’t help but notice that this is anextremely well-run company.
With a substantial portfolio that has increased80 per cent year on year and huge buying power,the company manages over half a billion ofinsured cover through various brokers in Brighton.They have very competitive management fees andtheir portfolio has expanded to cover Eastbourne,Worthing, London and Tunbridge Wells.
Budgeting is a key aspect of block management.“Being freeholders ourselves, we were fed up ofbeing ripped off. Our key work ethic is to not begreedy, to continue building customer service. Wedon’t charge for everything, but find a financialbalance which is affordable for the lessees andensures the proper maintenance of theproperties.” All funds are held in bonded andinsured client accounts with a separate accountfor each block, which gives clients thetransparency they need.
Teamwork“Our business comes mainly via referrals fromsolicitors, estate agents, letting agents, existinglessees and freeholders and purchasingfreeholders” says Steve, and the hit rate isexceptional. Steve, who has a strong background infinance having worked at Lazards and in estateagency, manages the business and finance affairsof the company, whilst Gareth (who previouslyowned Just Lets) continues to develop newbusiness and enhance the relationships of theirexisting client base.
Having known each other for 16 years, andhaving worked together at Pepperfox since 2006,Gareth and Steve have developed an intuitivemanagement style where they recognise thateveryone brings different qualities to the company,and choosing the right people to join the team is key.
“The team are amazing. We wanted to create acompany where you can breathe, which is notcontrolling. We operate a flexible method of workingwhere we put trust in staff, and we feel everyoneworks harder because of this. There is a hugeelement of responsibility but it is not restrictive.”
Continued growthThe team is expanding, the company is expandinggeographically, are there plans to expand intoother areas of property? “No, we are concentratingon our core business of block management.”Proving that they are the best block managementcompany is what interests Steve, and they haveplans to continue the well managed growth overthe next three to four years. They are seriouslyconsidering expanding further into London and theSouth East, eventually having satellite offices inother areas, but always retaining the core centralaccounts management base in Brighton and Hove.
Gareth Knox, the Head of Property Managementat Pepperfox shares the directors’ vision. Hailing

LEGAL ADVICE12www.latesthomes.co.uk/brighton
A s my colleague Naz Ahmed iskeeping busy answeringquestions on buying and
selling properties I agreed to step inas author of Healys’ regular column.
My speciality is in Family Law andin particular I am involved in seekingresolution of disputes over theownership of property and assetsand how they should be distributedon the breakdown of marriage or civilpartnership. This can often be acontentious and acrimonious issuebetween the parties.
There has been recent commentas to the extent an ex-wife canexpect to receive a share of propertyand assets including any claim overher husband’s business property. Ithas raised issues as to the extent to
which people attempt to hide theirproperty and assets withincompanies and trusts. In somecases this is a means of limitingfinancial responsibility following amarriage or relationship breakdownto a wife or partner.
A recent Court of Appeal decisionfound that an oil baron’s companyassets would not be included in thematrimonial pot and that the ex-wifehad no claim over them. Some mightconsider it a good reason not to marrythe founder of an energy company!
The decision is disappointing as itseems to go against an establisheddecision following the case of White
Division of propertyCatherine Taylorof Healys LLP on the breakdownof marriage
“There is a meansof limiting financialresponsibilityfollowing a marriagebreakdown”
which provided that wives shouldexpect to receive half the propertyand assets upon divorce following a long marriage.
It may well be the situation thateach case has to be looked at on itsown merits. However, uncertaintycreates unnecessary expense,particularly when having toinvestigate and untangle a web ofcompanies and trusts used toshelter a person’s wealth.
It may well be that judgesexercise their discretion in thesecases but they should ensure thatany decision is fair and provides forproper distribution of property andassets. It will be interesting to seehow this topic develops.
If you have any issues followingthe breakdown of your marriage andcivil partnership, please feel free tocontact me on telephone number01273-669124 or email me [email protected].

Exterior extravaganzaS o into the festive season we march, trying to
ignore the growing panic about whether youshould buy just one more present for your
parents or if the children have got enough to openon Christmas morning. Let’s not even think aboutthe dilemma of whether there will be enough crispsand nuts to last until after Boxing day. For now,focus on making your home cosy and festive,ready for the big day.
For those who like to remind the people outsidethat your house is indeed suitably geared up forthis time of year, now is a good time to get yourelectrics checked for that exterior extravaganza.Whether it’s a simple garland of fairy lights around the small bush in yourfront garden or the Christmas version of Blackpool Illuminations, check yourconnections first to avoid overheating or power surges in your home. If youare feeling particularly dedicated, qualified electricians are always on handto fit a permanent outdoor weatherproof socket for convenience.
For businesses who wish to draw in the Christmas crowd and are findingit difficult to decorate the exterior of their building for whatever reason,professional light installation is a great idea. Make sure you not only havea safe setup but a tasteful display to be admired by potential customers.This year, your Christmas can be bold, brash or as subtle as you like – justdon’t be a DIY turkey.

The association with the Royal Alexparticularly appeals to Austin Rees asthe hospital is near to everyone’sheart, whether it’s the hospital’sformer site on Dyke Road or its newplacement on Eastern Road. The ‘RoyalAlex’ name is familiar with manyfamilies who have either had cause tovisit the hospital, have known friendswho have been treated there, or thosewho have simply passed by andadmired the building which is iconic to Brighton and Hove. Austin Rees ispleased that its development as TheRoyal Alexandra Quarter has beensympathetic in retaining the name and part of the building itself.
