HMOs for sale in Brighton
Brighton & Hove HMO listings should be filtered by the city-wide Article 4 and by CP21’s 10% concentration test — not by headline yield alone.
How Brighton stock usually presents
Student houses near the universities sit beside coastal professional sharers under the same Brighton & Hove label. Read every listing’s Article 4 note and CP21 concentration line as carefully as the rent roll. A marketed six-bed inside a saturated 50-metre radius will not clear at face value.
Planning filter
Brighton & Hove requires planning permission for a change of use from C3 to C4 everywhere in the city under its Article 4 direction. Policy CP21 also states that permission will not be granted where more than 10% of dwellings within a 50-metre radius are already HMOs.

Underwriting a listing
Check achieved rents versus asking rents, licence grant versus advertised occupancy, amenity gaps, and the safety file. CP21 concentration can kill a conversion story even when Article 4 permission looks obtainable. Then sense-check price: HMO valuation in Brighton.
