don’t forget to allow some extra time for cleaning the apartment when you’re moving in. there is a cleaning service before every move-in, but you’ll probably still need to clean some parts yourself

Shops & Restaurants: The range and quality are excellent. Situated seconds away from North Laine with it's independent boutiques, vintage markets, and an amazing food scene ranging from casual street food to high-end dining. Aldi is at the bottom of the road for practical grocery shopping. Bars & Nightlife: The Blockhouse is surrounded by traditional pubs, craft beer bars, and other venues. Open Spaces: Although situated in a dense urban centre, a large public park is just a short walk away. Brighton Seafront and beach are roughly a 15-minute walk. Transport Links - Trains: Brighton Train Station is only a 5-to-7-minute walk away, providing direct connections to London Victoria and London Bridge in under an hour, as well as Gatwick Airport in 30 minutes. Buses: There are bus stops directly outside the property. Buses run regularly to the rest of the city and the universities. Problems: Because it is a central, heavily pedestrianised area, driving can be slow, traffic congested, and road layouts confusing for delivery drivers or visitors. Parking Availability: On-street parking is very restricted and expensive. There are a few on-site parking spaces which can be reserved directly with management if available. Secure indoor bicycle storage is provided on-site. Bin Collections & Deliveries: The Blockhouse has a superb on-site concierge and maintenance team, meaning parcel storage and waste management are handled easily within the complex. Anti-Social Behaviour: While central Brighton and the London Road experience standard city-centre nightlife foot traffic, residents at The Blockhouse feels very secure as a gated complex with 24/7 security and it's on-site team. Traffic & Noise: Because Pelham Street sits right next to the vibrant North Laine, daytime hustle and weekend nightlife noise are part of everyday life. However, the building has excellent insulation and street noise is well-blocked out.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management always respond quickly, professionally, and in a timely manner to any issues or problems that I have had. The on-site team and Reception staff acknowledge and address maintenance requests very quickly and handle all of my concerns in a polite, professional, and approachable manner. Reporting Facilities: Tenants can log problems or report issues directly through an on-site app.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Pros: Incredible Insulation: You rarely, if ever, need to turn the heating on during the winter, meaning energy costs are predominantly just for hot water. Seamless Management: The on-site front-of-house team and property management are highly proactive, acknowledging and fixing maintenance requests very quickly. Cons: Depending on where your flat sits in Block A, you may find the layout regarding the lift slightly frustrating. Car Parking Scarcity: Secure on-site parking spaces are incredibly limited.
