Summary - Flat 6, 8, Hurst Road BN21 2PL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact one-bed flat near town centre and transport, ideal for single tenants.
Chain free, long lease: approx. 137 years remaining
This first-floor studio in a converted Victorian semi offers a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in central Eastbourne. The open-plan living area with kitchenette and a separate bathroom suits single tenants and professionals attracted by nearby shops, transport links and the seafront. The property is chain free and has a long lease of approximately 137 years, helping simplify a purchase for investors.
Running costs and maintenance are clear: the flat uses electric heating via room heaters and has double glazing, but walls are likely uninsulated and the building will benefit from internal updating. The service charge is around £1,500 per year and council tax is low (Band A), so factor these into rental yield calculations. There is no private garden or allocated parking, which may affect appeal to some tenant types.
Location is a genuine strength — close to Eastbourne town centre, public transport, local amenities and nearby parks and schools. Crime levels are low and area deprivation is very low, supporting steady rental demand. The compact, well-proportioned studio footprint makes this straightforward to manage and re-let with minimal refurbishment.
Overall this flat suits an investor seeking a simple, central Eastbourne rental with long lease security and transparent charges; cosmetic updating could improve rent and capital value.
