This freehold Victorian block of five flats at 46 Devonshire Place offers clear investor potential in central Kemptown, Brighton. Currently configured as five units with seven bedrooms overall, the property is sold with vacant possession and has historically returned approximately £8,000 pcm (£96,000 pa). Several balconies, a rear patio terrace and a split-level two-bedroom penthouse add rental and reprovisioning flexibility.
The building sits moments from the seafront and local amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive for short-term or longer lets. Its period façade and interior scope allow for targeted refurbishment to increase yields; the accommodation includes studios and two-bedroom flats across multiple floors.
Buyers should note practical and legal considerations: the block is in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime, and the advertised total reports only one bathroom across the whole property, which will affect occupancy and compliance without renovation. The lot is for unconditional sale by online auction on 10 December 2025; purchasers must pay a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000), a buyers’ administration fee and complete within 28 days. Review the legal pack before bidding.
