Questions people ask
Is Brighton and Hove safe?
Police recorded about 98.8 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than South East as a whole (68.2). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Brighton and Hove?
Homes sold for a typical £5,340 per m² in the year to August 2026, higher than South East as a whole (£4,390 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £375,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Brighton and Hove?
There are 48 state primary and 10 state secondary schools inside Brighton and Hove's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
