Houseboat is up for sale in Shoreham 90k and 2 bedrooms.
Some good points, but not the case for all flats. Myself and my partner bought a flat nearly 3 years ago in a private court in Shoreham/Southwick area, there's ample parking, large maintained gardens and every flat has a garage and most have a balcony. The service charge is over £100 pm however I think it's not bad value. The grounds are well kept, the common ways are regularly cleaned and are due to be refurbished soon, the outside of all 4 blocks were recently refurbished too and all garages just received updating and replacing of any rotten frames.
Fair enough and sounds a great deal I just know some I looked at basically got nothing for the £100, I suspect it really depends on the freeholder but it will effect the ability to borrow as it is not discretionary and needs to be added to the equation when looking
Shoreham and Southwick, even parts of Portslade are nice enough areas. I wouldn't recommend Newhaven or Peacehaven though to anybody.

It's bloody fantastic! Why wouldn't you recommend it? Beautiful sea and downland views. A couple of great pubs, Indian and Italian restaurants and great transport links. The town centre / ring road needs some serious work but this barely affects me and there are signs that this will ccome in time.[MENTION=1320]Notters[/MENTION] seems very happy with his move here.
Slightly O/T but every time I'm down at the Marina I can't help but think how much boat you get for your money. OP's £250,000 would get him a floating palace. Half of that figure would get him something eminently liveable-in. Reckon mooring fees wouldn't amount to much more than maintenance charges on a flat. Assuming you're allowed to live year-round on a boat in the Marina, that is. Anyone ever tried it?
Nicely done. You'll probably find you'll get a lot of those "price reduced for the over 60s" oonce a come up in Brighton which are aactually a lot more expensive.
You'll get a decent house with garden in Newhaven for that.

I fail to see how Portslade is better TBH and it's far more expensive.
I should have said in my first post but a garden is a 110% must. Dog etc..!
Newhaven is looking good so far. I might have a drive over next week and scout the area.
Btw, I grew up in Portslade and really don't like the place. I know a small part of it is getting better (Victoria Road), but it's still pretty grim imo.
I was in a similar situation, I ended up moving to seaford which is a much better town than newhaven. Slightly more expensive tho
