1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large one-bedroom flat in Kemp Town with long lease and clear refurbishment upside..
Share of freehold with exceptionally long lease (c.991 years)
A rare South Coast investment opportunity in Kemp Town: this spacious one-bedroom flat (c.756 sq ft) occupies the second floor of a Victorian/Georgian terrace and is being sold chain free with a share of the freehold. The property requires a full refurbishment — there is no central heating system and electric heaters are assumed, the building has solid brick walls with no insulation, and windows are double glazed pre-2002. These factors mean immediate capital expenditure will be needed but also create scope to add value through modernisation and energy upgrades.
Layout and period character are strengths: high ceilings, large sash/bay windows and generous room proportions give scope to create an attractive rental or resale unit that stands out in Brighton’s inner-city market. The very long lease (circa 991 years) and share of freehold reduce tenure risk for buyers planning longer-term holds. A garage is included but requires work; there is no private rear garden and the flat is street-facing in a built-up area.
Location is a primary selling point. Kemp Town Village, shops, restaurants, transport links and the seafront are within easy reach, supporting strong tenant demand for central Brighton properties. Note the local area profile: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal aid rental appeal, but crime levels are recorded as high and the area scores as relatively deprived — factors to consider for pricing, security investment, and tenant screening.
For investors this is a value-add project with clear upside after refurbishment and energy improvements. For an owner-occupier comfortable with major works, it offers the chance to create a stylish inner-city home close to Brighton’s amenities. All buyers should verify lease, structural and services information with their solicitor and surveyor before purchase.
