Summary - 74A LEWES ROAD BRIGHTON BN2 3HZ
7 bed 7 bath End of Terrace
Corner mixed-use freehold with strong student rental income and shop revenue.
Seven double bedrooms each with en-suite shower (HMO)
This mixed commercial/residential freehold on Lewes Road is presented as an established income-producing asset ideal for buy-to-let or portfolio investors. The ground-floor shop plus a seven-bedroom HMO generate a combined income of £73,500 pa, with the HMO let to 23/08/2026 and all bedrooms fitted with en-suite showers, reducing management complexity and improving letability in a strong student market.
The building is cleverly configured over four levels and described as well-maintained with generous room sizes and a compact private patio. Its prominent high‑street corner position offers excellent footfall and transport links to the city centre and universities, supporting near-term rental stability in this cosmopolitan student neighbourhood.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a very high crime area, the plot is small, and the main walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation — this may affect long-term energy performance and refurbishment costs. EPCs are Commercial 41 (B) and HMO 56 (D), so energy improvements may be advisable to meet future standards.
This is a hands-on investment with tenants in situ and straightforward income. It suits investors seeking immediate yield from student lets and retail, accepting tenant-related management and the need for targeted energy or fabric upgrades over time.
