High‑yield central Brighton mixed‑use freehold with holiday‑let income and retail lease.
Freehold mixed‑use building, approx. 2,000 sq ft
An imposing period mixed‑use freehold in the heart of Brighton’s pedestrianised Duke Street. The building extends to about 2,000 sq ft across multiple floors, combining a let commercial retail unit producing £30,000 pa and a seven‑bed holiday let currently reporting circa £110,000 pa. The holiday accommodation includes five en‑suite rooms, cinema/lounge, well‑fitted kitchen/dining and a small rear patio — described as well presented and nearly fully booked through the season.
This property is aimed squarely at investors looking for central Brighton cashflow and growth from short‑stay accommodation. Location is a core asset: high footfall, immediate access to the Lanes, Churchill Square, seafront and the main station. Additional tax and purchase incentives are highlighted (Capital Allowance rebate, SSAS suitability and SPV purchase options) that can enhance net returns for a corporate or pension acquisition.
Important considerations: the building sits in a very high crime and deprived city‑centre neighbourhood, with only on‑street parking and a small plot/patio rather than private outdoor space. The commercial unit is occupied under lease, so immediate owner‑occupation of that ground floor retail space is not available. Buyers should also budget for central‑city maintenance and management of a busy holiday operation, and verify bookings, running costs and lease terms when carrying out due diligence.
For investors this is a high‑yield, central Brighton holding with seasonal strength and mid‑week growth potential, but it requires hands‑on management and careful due diligence on tenancy, service arrangements and security requirements.
