If you wanna live well, Live at the blockhouse
I love The blockhouse as a development and it has probably changed the renting game forever for me. You get to live in a building that is new, has up to date facilities, insulation, and the whole built is new and constantly maintained. It is a huge perk to have a gym in your own building and unless you are a professional weight lifter, it has all the necessary equipment! I have also hosted a Thanksgiving dinner in the private dining area and it was a lovely time that my guests enjoyed very much. The roof garden is a lovely addition that feels like an escape from the city and there are often events in the building that help you use the facilities. In terms of management, you have the MOST phenomenal on site team. Brunilda, Robin and Emily are so lovely and always willing to help. Over my two years living in the Blockhouse, I have always had a friendly face to approach whether it was to share good news or my troubles. I probably told Brunilda that I got a new job first (after my parents) and it felt so good to share the news with someone who cares so much about the residents. Every time I had an issue to escalate (Which was probably only once or twice), the whole team was very responsive and attentive and the issue was resolved right away. The building is also regularly cleaned by the amazing Peter, who keeps everything sparkling!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location of the Blockhouse is perfect as it sits right in the heart of Brighton. You walk out of the building and you are right next to the Laines. There are numerous coffee shops, cute independent businesses and smiley faces right at your doorstep. Living in The Blockhouse means to truly experience what Brighton is. I think a lot of other BTRs in the city are quite remote and you miss out from what is happening, but The Blockhouse is unique in that you get to live in luxury whilst also being in the centre. In terms of transport links, you are a 7' walk from the train station which goes to London in an hour. There are also 3 different bus stops (2 behind the building and 1 on the side) which connect you to the entire city and there are buses literally every 3 minutes. For parking availability you can ask the building to see if there is a free car park space to reserve inside the premises but if not, I used the Trafalgar street car park my first year living here and it was absolutely fine, nor did I ever have any concerns about anti-social behaviour. It's in a location that is well connected and so even as a single woman I felt completely safe walking home at night.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Responded right away (if it was working hours), listened to me and resolved the issue as quickly as possible!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew how easy it would be to move to a new city by myself because when I moved to The Blockhouse I genuinely felt like I had a community. If you are thinking of moving in here, do it!! It's a lovely space and the residents try to look after it and it's quite nice to have events to get to know your neighbours.

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.
