We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A well-presented lower ground floor studio apartment, offering a bright and practical living space in a highly convenient central location.
The property is arranged around a generous main studio room, providing clearly defined areas for sleeping, living and working.
The space benefits from a clean, modern finish with neutral décor and wood-effect flooring, creating a light and versatile environment that can be adapted to suit a range of needs.
A recessed area and alcove storage add a degree of separation and functionality, whilst the overall layout remains open and easy to furnish.
To the rear, a separate fitted kitchen is neatly arranged with modern units, worktops and integrated appliances, making good use of the available space.
The shower room has been updated in a contemporary style, comprising a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC, finished with simple, clean tiling.
An internal lightwell and window arrangement allows for natural light to filter into the main living space, enhancing what is an already well-balanced apartment for its size.
The property is presented in good order throughout, with scope for a purchaser to further enhance or personalise over time if desired.
Situated on Church Road, the property is ideally positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding amenities.
A wide range of shops, cafés and restaurants are immediately on hand, whilst the seafront is just moments away.
Excellent transport links are also nearby, including regular bus routes and Hove mainline station within easy reach, making this an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a well-located coastal base.
Tenancy Notice The property is currently let, with the tenant having confirmed they will vacate on 20 November 2026.
As both the tenancy and sale are managed by the same local agent, the process is being closely coordinated to ensure a smooth transition.
Vacant possession is therefore expected to be available in line with the agreed timeline.
