This mixed‑use freehold occupies a prominent corner position in Brighton’s North Laine, benefitting from heavy pedestrian footfall and strong high‑street visibility. The property offers immediate income with three let parts producing a combined £34,800 pa, while the main shop is offered with vacant possession — attractive for an investor or owner‑occupier looking to trade or re‑let.
Income profile is clear: 102a and lower ground are on rolling monthly terms (current combined rent c.£20,400 pa) and the first‑floor flat yields £14,400 pa. Rents and price are quoted exclusive of VAT; AML checks will be required as part of any sale. The commercial element has an EPC B; the residential part is EPC E.
The building is a period end‑terrace (pre‑1900) with traditional shopfront and modest upper‑floor accommodation. Plot and external amenity are minimal, so occupation suits retail with residential income rather than a family garden property. The site sits within the North Laine Conservation Area — planning enquiries are advised for change of use or external alterations.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the area records higher crime levels and the building fabric is traditional solid brick, likely without modern cavity insulation. Confirmation of tenancy terms, service arrangements and any required refurbishment works is recommended prior to exchange. The freehold is offered at £765,000, presenting a clear route for investors aiming to consolidate rental income or for an operator seeking a central Brighton trading base.
