Hi Thanks for reaching out, sorry about ll the negative comments, I think it is wise to ask locals for their views in an area that you don't know as well as they do.

If it helps I viewed a lovely 2 bed new build flat opposite Hove Park, its a lovely area and although a flat had a private rear garden and communal gardens so may be a worth a look for you and you pets, they're ground floor as well and in your price range. Hove Park is a lovely area of our wonderful city, amongst other areas, but that type of thing may fit the bill.

Unfortunately it was a bit beyond our means, but I loved the flat, just couldn't quite push that far. A link of the apartments is below. Anyways its just a thought for whats its worth without the micky taking or hate of where you're looking to move from. Good luck in your search.


Good luck!
:ban: ;)

Thinly disguised advertisement for a stupidly overpriced flat.

Also Brighton at the time was pretty rundown and certainly not the hip cool desirable city it is now.
I bought my first flat about 1990 and I remember loads of flats on the market in period regency properties, Palmeira Square and the like, seemed to barely shift - in the 30 thousands from memory.

IIRC my first naive investment in the property market at the age of nineteen was buying a victorian 3 bed terraced house off Blatchington Road for 18.5K with my then partner, a Barclays investment advisor 10 years my senior.

A very wise investment it proved and when we split and sold it 4 years later it would have provided a very solid sum had I not discovered the delights of Sergeant Yorkes, Hove Sporting Club and a few other fine traditional Brighton establishments in the interim :blush:

Thanks for all the responses, some good and some bad, but surprising how many people did take the time to reply, so thank you all.

I understand that I may be out of town looking to move to your City, but this just shows how attractive your city is to "outsiders". I didn't know if posting on any of the forums would yield any helpful information, but it has indeed, thank you so much for the advices and suggested area. I look forward to spending more time looking at flats in areas suggested and all going well settling on the South Coast in the not to distant future.

Thanks again

Can I ask why do you want to move to Brighton?

Are we likely to hear from you again?
