The property is a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom flat with a total area of 579 sqft situated in the Rottingdean Coastal locality of Brighton and Hove. The list price is £300,000. The average price for properties in the area is significantly higher at £637,363, with an average price per sqft of £545. This flat is considerably smaller than the average property size in the area (579 sqft vs 1168 sqft). Considering the location, Sussex Square in Brighton is generally considered a desirable area. The proximity to the coast, combined with the presence of several well-regarded schools (St John The Baptist Catholic Primary School and St. John’s College, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) within a reasonable distance, contributes to a positive location score. The availability of nearby transportation links further enhances its appeal. Based on the images, the property appears to be in a period style building, and the interior shows signs of needing some updating and modernisation. While the bathroom and kitchen seem functional, they could benefit from renovations to improve their overall condition and aesthetic appeal. The property’s age and style may appeal to buyers seeking a period property, but the condition suggests a need for some investment. The plot size is relatively small at 650 sqft, which is typical for a flat in this area and doesn’t significantly influence the overall score. Given the list price of £300,000, compared to the average price of £637,363 in the area, and the property’s condition requiring some modernisation, the price seems relatively reasonable, especially considering its size. However, the lack of information on comparable properties of similar size and condition makes a definitive statement difficult. The price per sqft for the area (£545) is also much higher than what is being offered, which further supports the argument of reasonable pricing.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
