Property in Brighton represents a good investment opportunity for both homebuyers and landlords.

That is according to Brighton and Hove Family Homes, which said that the town had a particularly strong buy-to-let market.

Charlie Snell, director of the estate agent, maintained that the Brighton rental market was helped by the town's two universities and its "numerous other colleges and language schools".

He added: "Also, people who want to move here usually rent first, just to test the water, so the rental market is extremely strong."

Mr Snell went on to say that the property market has "really picked up a great deal" in the last month, following a quiet period brought on by the Northern Rock crisis.

He affirmed that Brighton homeowners anticipated that the market would remain strong, despite widespread reports of a UK property slowdown.

"Seventy percent of people think that property prices will stay the same or rise."

Many new developments are planned for the town this year, including the refurbishment of Brighton Marina.
