Set over the second floor of a Victorian conversion in central Hove, this vacant two-bedroom flat offers straightforward rental or resale potential close to Hove station and local amenities. The flat extends to about 55.2 sq.m (595 sq.ft), features high ceilings in the building, a garden, and an EPC rating of C — practical positives for letting or light refurbishment.
Sold at auction with a guide price of £180,000 on 23 October 2025, the property is offered with a new long lease to be granted on completion (ground rent: peppercorn). Buyers must review the legal pack carefully: the sale includes special conditions and additional charges which could materially affect costs and timing.
Important practical points: the building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation; double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown. Heating is gas boiler and radiators. The area benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and Hove mainline station is minutes away (approx. 65 minutes to London Victoria).
Material drawbacks to note are the high local crime level and wider area deprivation indicators; these affect lettability and future capital growth for some buyers. The property is small and will suit buyers seeking a compact central home or an investor prepared to manage a rental in an inner-city location. All purchasers should inspect the legal pack, building condition, and any conservation-area requirements before bidding.
