Live public-data snapshot for BN1 1UG · Brighton and Hove · pulled 22 Jun 2026. Area-level only — a TrueBrick report resolves this to your exact address.

What you'll be buying

Regency and Victorian terraces, period conversions, and seafront apartments.

Whatever the street, the public record on the specific home — its title, flood exposure, planning history, energy performance and recorded sales — is what should shape your offer. That's exactly what a TrueBrick report reads back to you, in plain English, before you commit.

Three things to check before you offer in Brighton

  1. Many flats are conversions with shared freeholds — check the lease and management setup.
  2. Listed Regency stock and conservation areas restrict alterations.
  3. Seafront exposure means weathering and maintenance liabilities — review condition.

These are general prompts for Brighton— not findings on any one property. A TrueBrick report confirms which apply to the home you're actually buying.
