Summary - APARTMENT 9, 12, THE FURLONG BN2 4FY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable shared-ownership entry to Brighton with excellent transport links.
One double bedroom with private balcony and communal garden access
A bright one-bedroom open-plan apartment with a private balcony and communal garden, positioned in the heart of Brighton. The contemporary kitchen/living space and double glazing create a low-maintenance, modern feel ideal for a first-time buyer taking their first step on the property ladder.
This property is offered as a 40% shared ownership share (full market value £300,000) with a purchase price from £120,000. Monthly charges include rent of £461.83 and a service charge of approximately £243.60, with the annual service charge shown as £2,923.20. The long lease (around 243 years remaining) provides ownership security, but ongoing monthly costs should be factored into affordability calculations.
Location is a major asset: excellent transport links, fast broadband, and strong mobile signal make commuting and connectivity straightforward. Nearby schools are generally rated Good and there is easy access to the South Downs, shops, cafés and coastal amenities. The local neighbourhood mixes students and young families, so the area can feel lively and occasionally noisy.
Practical considerations: the flat is average-sized (about 575 sq ft) with a standard ceiling height and contemporary finishes, so major works are unlikely on move-in. However, the combination of service charge, monthly rent on the unsold share and the development’s communal upkeep costs means this is best suited to buyers who need an affordable route into Brighton rather than those seeking a low-running-cost standalone home.
