"Pulling out" on Valentine's day. Tough

Depending upon exactly where, a nice area with good shops, pubs, restaurants etc. Parking will be tough until you get a residents permit sorted out.
Difficult to get in and out of especially in the summer by either car or public transport, but that is offset by the area which offers just about everything you could want really.
Good luck.
New places tend to be over-priced. You're generally better buying used.

Was the property misdiscribed by halls? If so threaten them with the property misdiscriptions act or reimburse you. I have done it before.

It's a nice thought and I'll look into it but I believe the details carried a disclaimer, virtually invisible compared to the "Share of Freehold" headline at the top, but there nevertheless. Thanks for the thought though - what were the circumstances of your situation?

Can't recomend anything to do with properties in central brighton, however if you need a mortgage drop a PM to [MENTION=3887]Uncle Spielberg[/MENTION].

When you go round the show houses, check the bedrooms actually have full sized beds and wardrobes. We looked at few and the bedrooms in some were made to look bigger by having slightly smaller furniture, ie narrower beds.

i am pretty sure it does not matter what disclaimers they put on it - if they have misdescribed the property in any way you can have them. the property misdescriptions act is fairly strict. in any event if you feel they have misled you on the property description all you have to do is write to them and explain your costs so far and how you think they have misled you and copy in a solicitor. got to be worth a go?
mine was a property in brunswick place where the description suggested that i had access and ownership of the first floor balcony when in fact the lease did not provide ownership of the balcony. i just wrote and said i was pulling out and said they should cover my costs under the property misdescriptions and they rolled over.

and for general advice on buying a new build - generally i wouldn't - you will always pay a new build premium which means you are paying more than its worth. as for the seafront - check the service/maintenance charges. generally very high for obvious reasons.

Try this,if you have the Close,Road/Row/Street you know where you want to live (if you can afford it) you write out a letter to every owner something like this Dear Sir or Madam should you wish to sell your property can you please contact me,etc,etc

700k Sussex sq over two floors + roof terrace facing west looks the one to go for

Don't put it on your credit card unless you can pay it off at the end of the month.
