Description
WHAT THE OWNER SAYS:
"We have really loved living here for the last 5 years. The location has been key for us; ideal for getting to the beach and into central Brighton whilst only being a short drive to the Downs. The house has always had that 'homely feel' and we have been lucky to have had such great neighbours adding to that community feel. The whole of the house has been lovingly decorated and restored to its original features over the time that we have spent here. We hope that the new owners will love living here as much as we have."

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
