[Sussex] Sussex’s Finest Property For Sale

[zefarelly]

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 .

I've never bought anywhere with any consideration of capital. I have however, always considered where I live. Which is quite nice, IMO.

All of these mega-expensive properties seem so cold. Not temperature wise...just devoid of any personality or life.

like Grahams old gaff . . . Built a few years ago, and a charisma vacuum.

Wtf

Well, it's marginally better than Hastings.
Which isn't surprising, I heard the writer of Threads was inspired by a visit to Hastings.

Could we go for “One of Seafords finest properties” ?

Let’s settle for “one of Seaford’s properties”

The Buckle, Seaford

Looks better when it was a pub…has a slight 1930s look about it.

Well that's one way of looking at it. But you'll be living in a 2/3 bed terrace with tiny yard in Poet's Corner instead of a 4 bed detached with a decent garden and a drive somewhere like peacehaven (better comparison of house type you'd buy for similar money nowadays - still even perhaps being generous with what youd get somewhere like Poet's Corner!) for a decade, which for many parents with young children isn't a great option despite the highly desirable location of somewhere like Poet's Corner. Hence young families are spreading out away from B and H.
Anything can happen in a decade, too, both housing market wise and personally

Why are the sofas pointing out the window rather than at the TV?

 

[Weststander]

Now various people have said that it used to be a pub, I do remember going on a Geography field trip to Seaford from HGSB in the early 70's. I remember 4 of us going in there, ordering beers and then seeing our teachers through the door in the other bar (out the back IIRC - I'm guessing we were in the public bar and they were in the saloon). We then tried to appear relaxed and subtly down our drinks whilst staying out of the sightline of our teachers. Luckily we had practiced it a few times before at the Hove Park Tavern

In the lower 6th, age 16 and 17, we got smashed in The Buckle with our teachers, on the last Friday lunchtime session pre Xmas. It was the end point of something called The Buckle Run.

To look at the view of Newhaven of course

But if you lived somewhere you really didn't want to for a decade, you could make some MONEY

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Not much of a garden

Not many plants are wind resistant especially salt water-laden wind.

 

[maltaseagull]

It used to be a pub until the 80s (?). I’ve played many games of pool in their curved living room and have peed in their toilets. That should add a bit of value to it.

I didn´t see the plaque!

As any realtor will tell you

Are you American?

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.

Biggest house (read most expensive) in a not great area isn't ideal, but it's more complicated than 'buy best area'. Some properties simply have much more potential for improving than others.

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.

I like Poets corner, but it's not what would be described as the best area, it was a cheaper area of Hove with small terraced properties. Prices have gone up a lot, but that goes against your 'best area' argument.

As, beyond the first post, this has become a fantasy home thread, for the last couple of months I've had a little itch for this place:-

Knight Frank

www.knightfrank.co.uk

I think the selling point of 'wake up and be in Paris for elevensies' is strong.

That said my joy in Aldi's Aisle of Uncertainty, new found love of The Range, and buying a watch for £17 from t'Amazon (still working) would suggest I'm a little short of the £7.4m required.

 

[Monkey Man]

I used to go to the Buckle pub as a kid in the early 70s, with parents and grandparents, and it seemed magical.

It's not really recognisable as the same place these days. Just seems a bit confused and slightly tacky, and the outdoor bit is not very inviting.

But people do love Seaford seafront and visitor numbers have been rocketing since the pandemic. Maybe that inflates the price a bit.

It would be great if a new owner could reinstate it as a pub/bistro type place though I doubt anyone would take the plunge right now.

 

[The Clamp]

Lottery winner’s house.

Lewis Dunk has sold his place for more than that and it hasn't even got a sea view

 

[Lady Whistledown]

This used to be a proper pub, garden, the works . . . Some twat has f***ing ruined it, in spades, with PL-VAR infused glitter on top . . . It doesn't even look like a nice house!

Not many plants are wind resistant especially salt water-laden wind.

Having just come past it, all the sea-facing windows are once again completely covered in dried sea spray so you can’t see out. You’d have to employ a permanent window cleaner with that much glass and massive panes of it. Plus the corrosive effect of the salt. I take it all back, it’s not the £2m ‘des res’ it err...first appeared to be.
