Set on Brighton’s Kings Road, this unusually spacious one-bedroom apartment occupies 734 sq ft and delivers uninterrupted sea and city sunsets from a private open balcony. The west-facing aspect and balcony are standout features for seaside living and lettable appeal. The flat is offered chain-free, making a quick sale possible for a ready buyer.
The property requires renovation throughout, which creates scope to increase value but means immediate works and costs should be factored in. The lease has 68 years remaining — below typical mortgage lender thresholds — so the sale is realistically limited to cash buyers or purchasers prepared to arrange non-standard finance or a lease extension. Ground rent is low at £55, but buyers should allow for potential additional leasehold pack costs.
Practical considerations: heating is via a community scheme, glazing is older double glazing (installed before 2002), and the building is a 1967–75 system-built block with assumed limited wall insulation. The local area is lively and well connected with excellent mobile and fast broadband, but it has a high crime rate and relatively high council tax; these factors affect living comfort and rental profiles.
For an investor or buyer seeking a seafront project, this flat offers strong location-driven upside if you can manage the lease position and renovation. For owner-occupiers, particularly those needing mortgage finance, the short lease and cash-only nature make this suitable only for buyers who can fund purchase without a standard mortgage. Independent surveys and checks are strongly advised before proceeding.
