With more evidence and general agreement that property price rises are set to stall in the UK, the Telegraph has published an article suggesting that Brighton and Hove are diverging from other parts of the South East of England. The reasons given for the strong recent growth are chiefly the attractions the town has to relocating Londoners. These not only include Brighton’s interest and seaside location but the quality of the train services to London. Not only is the train service relatively good but commuters have a choice of London termini (Victoria, Charing Cross, Blackfriars and London Bridge) so a swathe of central London is walking distance from the train. However, it needs to be remembered that the train journey takes 80 to 90 minutes and won’t be cheap. The local council says that 4,500 Londoners relocate to Brighton every year.
