For a Brighton road to find itself the eight most profitable in the country should not come as a surprise.

Withdean Road in the city has seen the average homeowner pocket a cool £1.5 million profit according to figures from the Land Registry.

It’s in a gorgeous area of Brighton and Hove, which is already a gorgeous city.

An hour from London, the beach on its doorstep and a National Park in its back garden – the city really does compete with the best in the UK.

Every place will have those who knock it, but there’s not all that much to knock about Sussex’s biggest city.

Young professionals, students, those who have relocated and those born and bred in the city seem to share a mutual ownership of the place they call home.

Everybody wants a piece of Brighton and Hove. And why wouldn’t they?
