Brighton Build-to-Rent for Sale - Brighton and Hove

We can confirm that, subject to the acquisition of both properties, a concession is available reflecting a combined price of £7,000,000. The opportunity presents a part of an enticing prospect for acquiring a significant mixed-use freehold investment situated in a prime location in Brighton. This asset consists of a well-established commercial centre and a residential apartment block combined. The investment not only generates a robust combined income stream but also shows clear potential for rental growth. The property is on offer as a straightforward freehold investment sale with tenants already in place, alongside an established on-site management structure across the 2 blocks for efficiency. The asset boasts an established tenant base that delivers diversified income. Once stabilised, the combined income is expected to be approximately £600,000 per annum. This property offers evident rental reversion and potential for asset management enhancements. It is a well-maintained building that has been successfully operated as a long-term buy and hold investment, supporting a blend of residential, cultural, and commercial tenants. What sets this opportunity apart is its status as an income-generating legacy from the outset, as opposed to a vacant or speculative project. It is fully operational, supported by established tenant demand, and situated in a resilient Brighton rental market. The asset promises immediate yield and medium-term uplift potential. The combination of stable residential income, supported by a waiting list, and commercial growth potential renders this a compelling long-term investment option. Key growth and value drivers include the normalisation of rents over time, potential service charge optimisation, active tenant demand in the Brighton market, the ability to enhance commercial income streams, and opportunities for strategic asset management. An additional lease for the ground floor is expected to be firmed-up before the exchange of contracts, and the estimated rental value (ERV) indicates clear potential for increased income beyond current passing rent levels. The transaction position clarifies that the property is available for sale as a freehold investment with tenants in situ. It is sold as seen, and a straightforward legal pack is available. This opportunity is ideal for private investors, family offices, or funds, and the process can proceed on a defined timetable. The asset is currently marketed through retail and trade channels to secure the most suitable buyer. The ideal buyer profile includes income-focused investors, family offices seeking stable yields, mixed-use property investors, and those looking for exposure to the Brighton market. It is also well-suited for investors familiar with operational assets. Enquiries are invited from serious purchasers who can demonstrate funding capability and a clear acquisition strategy. Guide Trade Price £7,000,000 for commercial and residential blocks or £4,800,000 for the residential block only Further information, tenancy details, and legal documentation are available to qualified parties upon initial contact.

FAQs About Commercial Property For Sale in East Sussex

See All Properties For Sale

There are currently 105 commercial properties available for sale. Sizes range from 191 sq ft to 78,916 sq ft, with an average size of 7,456 sq ft. Available opportunities may include offices, retail premises, industrial properties, mixed-use assets and development sites.
How much does commercial property cost in East Sussex?
The average asking price is approximately £233 per sq ft, with prices ranging from £8 to £1,940 per sq ft. Property values will vary depending on location, size, condition, tenant status and market demand.
What factors influence commercial property values?
Property values can be affected by location, building quality, asset size, lease terms, tenant covenant strength, redevelopment potential and local market conditions. For investment properties, income generation and yield are also important considerations.
What types of commercial property are available to buy?
The market may include offices, retail units, industrial properties, warehouses, land, mixed-use buildings and specialist assets. Availability will vary depending on location and current market conditions.
What should I consider before buying commercial property?
Key considerations include location, accessibility, property condition, planning permissions, lease arrangements, operating costs and future growth potential. Buyers should also understand any legal, environmental or structural issues that could affect value or usability.
What is rental yield and why does it matter?
Rental yield measures the income generated by a property relative to its purchase price. Investors often use yield to compare opportunities, although it should be considered alongside factors such as tenant quality, lease length and potential for capital growth.
Can I buy commercial property for my own business?
Yes. Many buyers purchase commercial property to occupy themselves rather than as an investment. Owning premises can provide greater control over operating costs, security of tenure and the potential to benefit from future capital appreciation.
Do I need a commercial mortgage?
Many buyers use commercial finance to fund acquisitions. Deposit requirements, lending terms and borrowing costs vary depending on the property, the buyer's circumstances and the intended use of the asset.
What due diligence should I carry out before buying?
Due diligence typically includes reviewing title documents, planning permissions, leases, service charge information, environmental matters and building condition reports. Professional legal and surveying advice is strongly recommended before completing a purchase.
What are the risks of buying commercial property?
Potential risks include market fluctuations, vacancy periods, tenant default, maintenance costs, planning restrictions and changes in local demand. Thorough due diligence and effective asset management can help reduce these risks.
Can overseas buyers purchase commercial property in the UK?
Yes. International buyers can purchase commercial property in the UK, although additional legal, tax and regulatory considerations may apply. Professional advice should be obtained before proceeding with a transaction.
What additional costs should I budget for?
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for Stamp Duty Land Tax, legal fees, surveys, finance costs, insurance and any refurbishment or fit-out works that may be required.
