Bright Victorian flat ideal for short-let or buy-to-let investors near the Pier.
Chain free with 137 years remaining on lease
Set within a Victorian red-brick building steps from the seafront, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment offers immediate rental or holiday-let potential. At 517 sq ft the flat has a generous bay-windowed living/dining room, separate kitchen and a double bedroom — practical accommodation that appeals to single professionals and short-stay visitors.
The property is chain free with a long lease (137 years) and no reported flood risk, making purchase straightforward. Its central location delivers strong footfall, excellent mobile signal and easy access to Brighton Pier, theatres, shops and transport links — useful positives for lettings or a city-base owner-occupier.
There are some clear compromises to factor into investment sums. The neighbourhood records very high crime levels, the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, and broadband speeds are very slow. The building has no private garden and sits above a ground-floor commercial unit, which may influence noise and service arrangements.
For an investor this is a pragmatic city-centre opportunity: low council tax costs, long lease and conversion/short-let upside in a tourist-heavy pocket of Brighton. Buyers should budget for improved insulation, faster broadband installation and fit-out or cosmetic upgrades to maximise rental yield and curb appeal.
