A bright fifth-floor two-bedroom flat in the One Brighton eco-development, offered chain-free with 107 years remaining on the lease. The dual-aspect living room opens onto a sunny balcony, and lift access along with communal bike storage make city living straightforward. Built with sustainability in mind, the building benefits from solar panels, wind power, triple glazing, ventilation heat recovery and rooftop allotments.
The apartment is compact (approximately 546 sq ft) and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-carbon home near excellent transport links — just moments from Brighton Station and the city centre. Practical running costs are helped by an affordable council tax band and a below-average service charge of £376 pcm; ground rent is £250 per year. An EWS1 form is in place, supporting mortgageability where required.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold property on a shared ownership basis; confirm the shared ownership share and qualifying criteria before proceeding. The local area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with very high recorded crime levels and very slow broadband speeds — factors to weigh if you need quiet streets or fast home internet. The apartment is ready to move into but, given its compact size and communal heating/biomass system, buyers who want full control over utilities or larger living space may prefer a different type of home.
