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
*** guide price £475,000-£500,000 *** Offered for sale either as an HMO investment or to an owner-occupier, with vacant possession available from 11th August 2026.
Ideally situated in a central Brighton location just off Lewes Road, the property is within walking distance of local amenities, highly regarded schools, and Brighton and Sussex Universities.
This five-bedroom, one-bathroom Victorian terraced house is arranged over three floors and offers significant potential for further enhancement, including the possibility of a loft conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Additional benefits include on-street parking and a westerly-facing courtyard, perfect for enjoying the evening sun.
The ground floor comprises a double bedroom to the front, featuring a large, double-glazed bay window and decorative coving, along with a single bedroom, an additional WC housing a ‘Worcester’ condenser boiler, and stairs to the upper and lower floors.
On the lower ground floor there is spacious double bedroom to the front, a living room and a modern kitchen to the rear, fitted with modern, high-gloss white units at base and eye level, with integrated oven and hob, vinyl wood-effect flooring, and a double-glazed window and door opening onto the west-facing courtyard.
The top floor offers two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, featuring a panelled bath with electric shower over.
The property is currently let to four students at £2,333 per calendar month, generating an annual income of £27,996, with scope to increase rental income by utilising the fifth bedroom which is currently unoccupied; the HMO licence has been granted for 5 bedrooms.
For families, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of several well-regarded schools, including Fairlight Primary School, Elm Grove Primary School, and St Martin’s C of E Primary School.
Excellent bus links provide easy access to Brighton city centre and beyond, while Brighton Station is approximately a 10-minute walk away, offering convenient commuter routes to London.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
