Market note
Stock is tight; Hove and the Lewes Road corridor are the usual overflow.
Brighton and Hove behave like one expensive coastal market. Period conversions dominate; family houses disappear quickly. London commuting via Brighton Main Line still supports prices even when local wages do not.
London door-to-desk times of about an hour still drive a large share of demand.
Popular primaries fill from a short radius. A listing a few streets outside a catchment can change the realistic school options.
The Lanes and seafront are busy with visitors. Residential streets in Hanover, Preston Park and Hove typically feel calmer. Check weekend noise if you are near late venues.
