Summary - Flat 2, 48 London Road BN1 4JD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Approx. 6.5% gross yield (estimated)
Set above ground-floor retail on busy London Road, this two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward buy-to-let potential in central Brighton. With an estimated gross yield of about 6.5% (based on the provided rental figure), the property is vacant and ready to let, making it suitable for investors seeking immediate income.
The flat is a short walk from London Road Station and close to Brighton Mainline Station, shops, cinemas and amenities — strong transport links and local demand for rental accommodation. Internally the apartment is newly renovated with new carpets, gas central heating and a large open-plan living/kitchen, plus two double bedrooms and a generous bathroom.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold (circa 151 years remaining) and sits above commercial premises, so potential buyers should factor in noise from the street and shops below. The local area is classified as very deprived with very high crime statistics, which can affect tenant mix, rental demand and insurance costs.
Overall, this is a practical city investment: long lease, vacant possession and immediate let-ready condition, balanced against urban location drawbacks that may influence management costs and tenant sourcing.
