Local area: high crime and deprived — affects tenant profile
This compact first-floor studio sits on Marine Parade, directly facing Brighton’s seafront and Kemp Town amenities. Its open-plan layout, neutral decor and modern kitchenette make it immediately lettable or ready for short-term occupancy. The property is currently let for £825 pcm, reflecting strong local rental demand for small seafront units.
The building is a period conversion with character features from its Georgian terrace setting. Practical details: 107 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge of about £1,250, secondary glazing and electric room heaters. Solid brick walls likely lack insulation and heating is electric only, so running costs can be higher than modern systems.
Important considerations: the sale is for cash buyers only and the local area records higher crime levels and broader area deprivation, which may affect tenant mix and insurance. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is low (Band A) and there is no flood risk.
For investors, the combination of seafront location, compact footprint and current rental income offers straightforward buy-to-let potential or short-term holiday use, provided buyers accept leasehold constraints, running costs from electric heating, and the service charge. For those seeking a personal pad by the sea, this is a ready-to-move-in studio in a central Brighton spot.
