Moving to Brighton: seaside living, mainline rails
QuoteMyMove 2 February 2026 6 min read
London-by-the-sea has matured into a serious destination for families and remote workers — and the property market reflects it.
Brighton's mainline to London Bridge is only 51 minutes — and the property prices reflect it. Moves here are usually small flat conversions in tightly-packed terraces.
Removal costs
- 1-bed flat: £350–£600
- 2-bed home: £450–£820
- 3-bed family home: £600–£1,200
- From London (3-bed): £900–£1,650
Best neighbourhoods
- Hove — calmer, older, brilliant cafés
- Kemptown — eccentric, LGBT-friendly, walk-to-pier
- Seven Dials — leafy, family, period homes
- Hanover — colourful Bohemia in a hilly grid
- Preston Park — green, family-friendly, fast train
