The Blockhouse is an amazing place to live!!
The building and facilities are fantastic! The building is very modern and offers a variety of amenities to take advantage of. The maintenance and property management are amazing and nothing is ever disorderly or broken, but in the rare case that it is, it is fixed in a very timely manner.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in The Blockhouse means we are able to be in the center of Brighton, close to transport and loads of great activities! Even so, it is super quiet and relaxed.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building is always very timely and professional when responding to any issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known how much diversity there is in the blockhouse!! I meet people from every walk of life and it is so refreshing.

Excellent development design and front of house management team.
Property management is excellent. I have an issue, it is an acknowledged in a timely manner by the front of house team.
Design is also great although I would have preferred another set of elevators on the other side of the block.
Development is always clean and facilities are always maintained nicely.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Range of shops is excellent. Very close to everything.
Various transport links are also close by which is extremely handy.
Parking is limited unfortunately as I would like to secure a space in order to leave a car inside the development.
Bin collections are frequent enough.
Anti-social behaviour outside the block is noticeable in one corner of the building which is where I am. Security always on site though I feel safe.
Only issue I have as I am the closest flat to it, is the noise of trucks as they deliver to the local supermarket opposite the road. It is so loud it wakes me up frequently at night.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Relatively quickly and always in a professional and approachable manner.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the vent above the cooker did not lead anywhere. It leads to the fire alarm going off.

Absolutely love it!
We love living in the blockhouse! The apartment is great, wonderful facilities including gym and roof terrace! It’s a fantastic place to live, and we wish all of our friends would move here!! We lived in London for 8 years, and were concerned that it wouldn’t match the young and trendy lifestyle, but it really feels great living here!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s a great vibe here! You can roll out of your door and into a flat white! We can’t get enough of the great vibes, coffee and the beach!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always quick to respond with any issues, repairs are done at a high quality!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wished we’d have moved here sooner! Have no negative comments!

Blockhouse Brighton
The building is definitely built to a high quality standards, and these standards are regularly maintained. The amenities the development provides is certainly a massive advantage compared to others, with gorgeous views of Brighton from the rooftop lounge, to the gym which is very well maintained, as well as the beautiful lobby and dining area by the entrance. My guests are always envious when visiting the premises.
But what truly makes the Blockhouse shine are the team. Throughout my years of residency, I have always had lovely daily interactions with the team, who have been so supportive in any instances, and are always ready to lend a hand. I have always felt supported and cannot recommend the team highly enough for the work that they do in keeping the Blockhouse Brighton the uniquely wonderful place that it continues to be.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is fantastic, being so central, you’re only a short walk from anywhere you need to go. A few minutes from the laines, 5 minutes from the station, 10 minutes from the beach. Additionally, parking options are such a helpful thing to have, especially in a town like Brighton! The street is nice and quiet, despite its close proximity to busy areas like Sydney Street or Kensington Gardens, it’s very peaceful and have never had any issues with noise, despite being opposite the Met College.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
To start with, I never really had any major issues during my residency to begin with, but with any minor issues, the building management were always quick to respond and ready to resolve, which is honestly such a refreshing experience.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I thought the viewings were quite thorough, including a full tour of the development and its amenities. Any questions we had were answered promptly.

The very modern design of the building is very nice and convenient
The very modern design of the building is very nice and convenient. The only issues I seem to have are the storage spaces in the kitchen. The cupboards and cabinets aren’t very spacious. I have a 2 bed apartment but the space is enough for a single person
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is convenient. Very close to public transport spots such as train stations and bus stops. 5 minute walk to the city centre all whilst passing through the beautiful north lanes
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had an issue with my shower. When I mentioned It to the security guard Mason he made sure to tell the maintenance man and fixed it within the week
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish the barbecue on the terrace was able to be used like advertised

Manager's response
Hi Sadeem, I hear you about storage space - it's a struggle in the UK with our house sizes and can be something to adjust to! That said hopefully the built in wardrobes, hallway storage and utility cupboards go someway to helping.
Glad to hear you are enjoying your stay here and look forward to seeing you at some events over the year.
