Local area: very high crime and high deprivation indices
This compact first-floor flat sits in the heart of Hastings, a short walk from the mainline station and town amenities. The layout includes two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom, all within a small footprint suitable for low-maintenance living or a rental let. Period features such as sash bay windows, high ceilings and a cast-iron fireplace give character and appeal to tenants or buyers who value original detail.
The property will be sold with a new lease on completion; however, the remaining lease length is around 60 years. That limited term may affect mortgage availability and resale value, so buyers should check lender criteria and consider lease-extension costs. The building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, so there is potential to improve energy performance and tenant appeal through targeted investment.
This location offers excellent transport links, fast broadband and many local amenities — strong positives for lettings. Conversely, the immediate area records very high crime and high deprivation indices, which may influence tenant profile and rental yield risk. The flat is small (approximately 338 sq ft) and will suit investors seeking a city-centre rental or buyers prioritising location over space.
Overall this is a characterful, central purchase with clear short-term rental potential but material drawbacks: short lease, small size and local area challenges. Buyers should budget for possible renovation, energy upgrades and lease-extension costs before committing.
