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.

FAQs
Intercoms & Access Control in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide intercoms & access control across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
What's the difference between an intercom and access control?
An intercom lets you communicate with a visitor and remotely release the door. Access control restricts entry to authorised keypad codes, fobs or cards without necessarily involving a conversation. The two are often combined on the same entry point.
Can you upgrade an existing communal entry system for a block of flats?
Yes, we assess the existing wiring and panel first to see what can be reused, and quote for a full or partial upgrade depending on condition and what residents need.
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.
