A spacious two-bedroom garden flat arranged over approximately 832 sq ft, located on the basement level of a Victorian period building in Clarence Square, close to the seafront and central Brighton amenities. The property is being sold vacant by online auction with a six-week completion and a remaining lease of 92 years — suited to buyers able to proceed quickly.
The flat presents a mix of conditions: marketing notes suggest generally good condition and only minor improvements, but the recorded status confirms the property needs renovation. This makes the home suitable for a buyer seeking value-add potential — either to refurbish and occupy or to renovate for a rental in a busy, student-dense area with strong local demand and fast broadband.
Practical selling points include a private garden, two bathrooms, mains gas central heating, low ground rent (£50) and very cheap council tax. Material negatives you should factor in: the neighbourhood records very high crime and high area deprivation, the building is solid brick with assumed no insulation, and the sale will be by auction (92-year lease remaining), so budgeting for refurbishment and lease considerations is essential.
This property is aimed at investors or hands-on buyers who need to move quickly and are comfortable managing a renovation in a busy central location. Its central Brighton location, proximity to transport, shops and universities gives it clear rental and resale potential once work is completed.
