Summary - Queens Road, Brighton, BN1 BN1 3XB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Lengthy lease and strong rental demand near universities ideal for buy-to-let upgrading.
- Very long lease: 199 years
- Central location near universities, shops and transport
- Large lounge with high ceilings and bay window
- Compact total area: approximately 355 sq ft
- Requires renovation and modernisation throughout
- Service charge circa £1,680 per year
- Very high local crime and very deprived area
A compact one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a Victorian mid-terrace, offered with a very long lease (199 years). The property has a generous lounge with high ceilings and a bay window, a double bedroom, separate kitchen and one bathroom. Its 355 sq ft footprint is small but well-zoned for a one-bed layout.
This is best-suited to an investor targeting students and young professionals; the location within central Brighton places it close to shops, cafés and universities, supporting rental demand. The apartment is in fair condition but does require renovation and modernisation to maximise rental income or capital growth.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the building sits in a very high crime and very deprived area, and the flat is small. Service charge runs at about £1,680 per year. On the positive side there is no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and a lengthy lease that removes short-lease urgency.
Overall, this is a straightforward buy-to-let/refurbishment opportunity for a purchaser who accepts a compact space and local area challenges in return for long-lease security and central location potential.
