Summary - FLAT 6, 41 KINGS ROAD, BRIGHTON & HOVE BN1 1NA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact seafront flat with uplift potential for cash buyers or experienced investors.
Direct seafront studio with sea views and lift access
This vacant third-floor studio sits on Brighton’s iconic seafront with direct sea views and lift access. At about 39 sq m (420 sq ft listed), the studio, small kitchen and bathroom offer a compact, straightforward layout suited to short‑stay or rental use. The building’s Victorian character and high ceilings give feel and potential, but the interior will need modernisation.
Important ownership and condition facts make this a specialist purchase: the lease has approximately 48 years remaining, and mortgage lenders will likely refuse to lend. The property is offered for sale at auction with a guide price of £85,000—cash or buy-to-let investors prepared to manage lease-extension work should review the legal pack carefully.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, the walls are likely solid brick without cavity insulation, and broadband speeds are very slow. Council Tax is low (Band A) and ground rent is currently £25 (scheduled increases noted). EPC is D. Crime levels in the locality are very high and the wider area is classed as deprived; factor this into letting strategy and pricing.
For the right buyer this is a seaside, buy-and-improve opportunity close to transport, shops and Brighton’s nightlife. Review the legal pack and special conditions in full before bidding; the short lease and additional charges are material issues that affect financing and future value.
