Properties in Lancing
Lancing is a coastal town between Shoreham and Worthing, dominated by the dramatic Lancing College chapel on the hillside. Housing is predominantly inter-war and post-war — semi-detached houses, bungalows, and some terraces. The beach area has distinctive 1930s properties, while North Lancing extends up the Adur valley with more modern development.
Common Damp Issues in Lancing
Penetrating damp from cracked render and aging external finishes is the most common issue in Lancing's inter-war housing. Coastal exposure accelerates deterioration of these finishes. Condensation in bungalows and properties with poor ventilation is also prevalent. Properties near the River Adur and the beach face elevated ground moisture levels.
