Just spent a few days in "Trafalger Gate". Jesus the place is terrible. You drive past the worst selection of shops and 1/2 shut Restaurants ever seen outside swindon!!. Was told it was nice...yeh right. Its got a bloody asda right next door. What a poor development....
Anyone know about house prices in Hove??

Thinking about buying a 2 bed flat to do up and maybe sell. trying to find out the good the bad and the ugly about Hove...
Some nice cars in the Marina...merc 600(??) AMG few doors down looked very nice.

The Marina has had loads of money spent on it but I personally never go there as it is crud. The best thing in the marina is a chinese resturant called The Brighton Pagoda. Its wicked 
Its on a barge and floats as it is still mored (sp?). Really nice resturant.
House/flat prices in Brighton are shocking. Have a look at a few estage agents. or have a look here
1 bed flats start at about £100,000 and go up very quickly. 2, 3 bed houses are about £200,000 and anything more than that gets expensive.
I've lived in Brighton since I was born but I had to leave the area as Brighton is not in the grasps of first time buyers. My girlfriend and I bought a 2 bed house with a garage in Lancing (about 8 miles away) for £129,000, the same house in Brighton would cost about £180,000
e-mail if you want any more details.

As far as Hove goes I'd say the Seven Dials area is best if you can get secure parking with the proerty.
I have a nice flat in the Montpelier Crescent which I rent out- for a good 2 bed with secure parking you are looking at £200,000 I would say. Not bad by London standards but comparing rent to mortgage/capital invested I just can't see much of a profit in it at the moment.
I can't see much profit in a renovation job either- prices are just to high at the moment.
edited to add some other details

Marina is p i s s P o o r.
Have to agree that prices are too high in Hove at the Mo.
I sold my flat on the sea front and took the cash
I live off Montpielier now.

I don't live there anymore, I remember the silver classic though- it was always parked down from the post office on Melville Road, had company vehicles when I lived in Brighton/Hove before the parking situation turned desperate. When I return now I can't believe how bad it is.
