As any realtor will tell you , it’s better to buy the smallest house in the best area than the biggest house in not a great area . Location always wins , certainly when it comes to property inflation.

It has a better floor plan and in a much better area , although off the busy Dyke rd Ave which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea .

I swim most mornings at the buckle and this property has always intrigued me. I was told it was a pub back in the dayd but is now used as an airb&b - thi ks its over priced - offer 1.2m and accept 1.4m - would want it ad a permanent home.

Because that is always the single most important thing when buying a home :facepalm:
You are quite right of course , it’s not . But if you are savvy you can make some easy dollars by being careful where you buy so when you do sell sometime in the future the more in demand and desirable the area the higher the selling price you will get.

For example if say 10 years ago you bought a 4 bed semi with a large garden on a new development in say peace haven or hangelton etc and you sold it at the start of 2022 without doing any major building work to extend etc you would make a decent profit through house price inflation.

However if 10 years ago , instead of buying the 4 bed semi with a large garden in one of those areas you bought a 4 bed terraced house with a smaller garden in say poets corner in Hove and went to sell it at the start of 2022, you would have made on average around £50,000 more money .

If you don’t believe me , study the buying and selling prices on rightmove in different areas , you will be amazed at the difference in returns over the last 10 years .

It’s not a consideration for everyone I completely accept but it is a way to increase your capital if you are careful where you buy .

If you’re talking about views, I nearly bought this first floor 2 bed flat at Bracklesham Bay in 2012. It was on sale for £160k and needed £30k to renovate. It would’ve been a holiday home, but decided against it. Wish I hadn’t now.

I mean I wouldnt turn it down if it were offered to me but it's pretty soulless as it is and the back of the house needs some work/a garden of some sort installed!
