Buying in Brighton
As one of the most famous seaside resorts in the UK, Brighton is well-known for both its pebble beaches and its incredible culture. There’s something for everyone in this vibrant city, from clubs, nightlife and festivals, to museums, theatres and restaurants.
Around 270,000 people call Brighton home, and on top of that the city attracts thousands of tourists and visitors each month. In addition to its world-renowned pier, there is an abundance of independent shops to peruse and dozens of unique restaurants and eateries to sink your teeth into.
More recently, Brighton has earned a reputation as being an innovative town, as it is home to many digital start-ups. Because of this, the town’s jobs market is buoyant, also fuelled in part by its proximity to London.

Transport in Brighton
Brighton’s closeness to the capital is often regarded as being one of its main selling points. Trains to London run every half an hour and the journey takes around 45 minutes. It’s a commute that thousands of Brighton residents make every day. Brighton is well-connected to London via the A23, with an average journey time to the capital taking just under two hours.
Getting around on public transport is relatively easy because of the city’s fast and reliable bus network. Many residents cover the city centre and beachfront on foot or by bicycle in a short amount of time.
Living in Brighton
For those who wish to combine the excitement of city living with the laid-back cool of a seaside town, Brighton is the perfect place to buy. House prices here are above the national average, costing the buyer around £414,000.
Hove is a particularly popular place to live due to its picturesque streets and Georgian squares. Although the area has plenty of desirable amenities, it’s the proximity to the beach that keeps residents happy - here you may be lucky enough to score a property with a sea view. For those looking for a sense of quiet away from the busyness of the inner city, Preston Park or Fiveways is an area with good schools that is perfect for families.
