£300k for a one bed flat overlooking the Goldstone Retail Park

[Herr Tubthumper]

You have to bid for the properties. Dread to think what they will sell for in the end as people push the offers to the maximum.

The modern looking house built on the corner of Goldstone Lane and Old Shoreham Road is also up for sale at just under £900K if you want views of Hove Park

Makes you wonder what the Goldstone would be worth now if it had permission for housing.

Hideous interior design and I reckon the Eames chair is a fake.

Seems obvious to me that the bus station in Hove should be relocated, making way for retail on the ground floor and a modern high rise block. If you have a supermarket on the ground floor, a mainline station next door and easy access to Brighton& Hove on the weekends, many people could survive without cars. If you can't spread out, the only way is up !

Bargainous!

There are cheaper options also available- 30 shared ownership flats:

And not forgetting the full blown affordable rented that will no doubt be by the bin stores and/or tucked away in the basement.

And they all lived (together) happily ever after.....................

I PAID 60K FOR A THREE BED HOUSE OVERLOOKING THE GOLDSTONE 1987 LOVED SITTING IN THE GARDEN WATCHING RESERVE FIXTURES

Looking at those photos: it appears you didn't go to to the last game at the Goldstone?

That red & white striped bathroom would have to go too.

Maybe Gus has kept a bolthole in Hove!!

And the rest.

£300k is the guide price, all of the private sale properties in this development are going to best and final bids! I've never seen that before on a new build development.

They'll all sell though, partly because one of the joint selling agents is actually a London based estate agent who'll be knocking these out to DFL's and Buy to let supremo's.

Why? Devalued pound. London peeps with equity. Always was expensive anyway. Nice place [sea, downs, nice shops, pubs, clubs and restaurants etc as well as the not nice ones], easyish commute to the smoke, fairly good employment. If you can afford a reasonable place or don't mind living in a dodgy flat for the sake of the location, go for it! Me? I moved away years. Good memories, nice place etc but other nice places will give you much more for your dosh, and I would not want to get involved in a costly cat fight, knowing the boom cannot go on infinitely.

Still cheaper than Chris O'Grady

You suspect no one and you suspect everyone OR SOMEONE COULD HAVE TAKEN PICS WITH MY CAMERA AS I WAS AT THE GAME Don't give up the day job

A vibrant area that's only a hour from London for commuters

1 hour is absolute minimum train time Hove-London Bridge peak (and then only 1 per morning which only takes an hour). Add on time to get from home to platform and platform to desk, almost impossible to be under 1.5 hours.

Locals can't afford it, hence why they are pushing it to London types who want out of London, want a second home for the weekend, or will buy as an investment. One quick look at the marketing brochure tells you all you need to know about the target audience. Dread to think what the final income will be if you add up all of the 'suggested' buying prices for the development.

How many punters not only in London but from overseas will see the £600k guide price for a 3 bed apartment and in a sealed bid process offer a 7 figure sum ? It wont be too long before residents of "Hove Actually" prefix that with "Decadent". DFLs will live in DHA

Get up earlier & you'll find more than one LB commuter service

Both of my direct neighbours bought their houses as DFL's near Hove Seafront over a decade ago, as David Bryne would say 'Same as it ever was'...

My house trebled in 10 years in Hove and has almost trebled again in the 10 since I sold it not just Perry Digweed that is 'safe as houses'?

That's hilarious -- low quality build, squeezed into a tiny plot with no garden, and it's amazing that they've managed to photograph it (with the photographer lying on the grass in Hove Park, by the looks of it) in such a way that you'd never realise it was ten feet away from a really busy road next to traffic lights.

Ah, but it has a Palm Tree, in the Kitchen!

I just paid about 200k for a 2 bedroom new build apartment in hovin. Its about a five minute drive from the E6, thats the main road between trondheim and oslo, so access is easy when it snows, but also very cars come our way and you cant see or hear the road, and have a lovely view overlooking a field from my terrace. Also no light pollution so the skies on a clear night are absolutely magnificent. Its a 30 min drive to work at back which is nothing really in the scheme of things.
