A compact new-build one-bedroom apartment in The Furlong, positioned close to Brighton city centre and the university. The open-plan layout, integrated appliances and low-maintenance finishes make it straightforward to let immediately. An NHBC-style warranty and new-appliance warranties reduce short-term upkeep costs.
Projected rental income is approximately £1,500 pcm, and a fully managed service with an available rent-guarantee package makes this a largely hands-off buy-to-let. The long lease (249 years) supports mortgageability and future resale.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of about £1,836. The local area records high crime levels and scores as very deprived; these factors can affect tenant demand, insurance costs and long-term capital growth. Council tax is described as cheap, which may help appeal to cost-sensitive tenants.
Overall, this is a practical investment for an investor seeking immediate rental income and low initial maintenance, provided they accept the higher local-area risk profile and ongoing service charge liability.
