Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

Compliance (EICR/Gas/Fire) in Brighton and Hove: FAQs

Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
How is this different from a standard landlord gas certificate or EICR?
This service is scoped for commercial and multi-let premises, which often need several certificate types coordinated together and cover more circuits or appliances than a single residential rental. Standard domestic landlord certificates are covered by our gas services and electrical pages.
How often do commercial EICR and gas safety checks need renewing?
Gas safety inspections for commercial appliances are typically required annually. EICR renewal intervals depend on the type and use of the premises and are usually stated as a recommendation on the report itself — we confirm the exact interval for your building during inspection.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
