This one-bedroom retirement apartment located in College Court, Eastern Road, Brighton, is currently listed for £90,000. The property is situated within a purpose-built complex specifically designed for those aged 65 and over. The complex itself has a number of communal amenities and grounds as evidenced in the pictures.

The apartment’s interior appears to be in need of some modernisation. The provided photographs indicate that the kitchen and bathroom are dated. The carpets also seem worn. However, the overall structure appears well-maintained.

The location is a positive feature, with the nearby presence of Queen’s Park and proximity to Brighton College. Access to public transport is likely to be reasonable given the address although the exact distance to transport links may affect some buyers. The target buyer profile for this property is therefore limited and could affect demand and price.

The lack of private outdoor space is a potential drawback, although communal gardens are available. This might limit appeal to buyers seeking a more independent living space. The absence of specific plot size data hampers a complete evaluation of its value. The nearby listing prices for similar retirement apartments are significantly higher, suggesting the listed price might represent good value. However, the potential buyer pool is significantly narrowed by the ‘retirement’ nature of the property and this affects the sale-ability and thus the overall price.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
