How much does student accommodation cost in Brighton?

Student accommodation in Brighton typically costs between £150 and £300 per week, depending on the type of housing, location, and whether bills are included. Shared student houses are the most affordable option, while purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sits at the higher end of the range.

Shared student houses

A room in a shared student house in Brighton usually costs between £150 and £220 per week per person. These properties are most commonly found in student-dense areas such as Upper Lewes Road, Hanover, and Bevendean. The price varies depending on the size of the property, its condition, and whether utilities are included in the rent.

Purpose-built student accommodation

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in Brighton typically costs between £200 and £300 per week. These developments often include en-suite rooms or studio apartments, larger communal spaces, on-site management, and included bills – which accounts for the higher weekly rate.

What affects the price?

Several factors influence how much student accommodation costs in Brighton:

• Location — properties closer to the city centre or seafront are generally more expensive
• Room type — en-suite rooms and studio flats cost more than standard rooms in shared houses
• Facilities — newer buildings with modern communal areas and on-site staff command higher rents
• Bills — accommodation that includes utilities and internet in the rent tends to cost more per week, but removes the hassle of managing separate accounts
