You will be yanked out by the horde of prospective tenants that are queuing up outside, while they desperately shower the agent with \u00a350 notes, Faberge eggs and their first-born children, just to be considered. Seriously.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t assume you can bring your car<\/h2>\n<p>Street parking in Brighton is divided into zones, many of which have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brighton-hove.gov.uk\/content\/parking-and-travel\/parking\/parking-permit-waiting-list-information\">waiting list<\/a> \u2013 sometimes up to 10 months. Most flats won\u2019t come with allocated parking, and if they do, you\u2019ll be paying handsomely for the privilege. You may be able to find nearby streets with few or no parking restrictions, but factor in a ten-minute walk to your car each morning and every chance you won\u2019t get a space.<\/p>\n<h2>Do get help moving<\/h2>\n<p>Navigating the one-way systems and city parking allowances is a pain at the best of times.

If you don\u2019t want to be found four days later still sobbing in front of the parking meter, hire a local man-with-van service and enjoy the least stressful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicemanbigvan.co.uk\/\">removals Brighton<\/a> can offer.<\/p>\n<h2>Do take a blind chance<\/h2>\n<p>In any other city, a <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/property\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/property;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.05wrt;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Property\" >property<\/a> listing without pictures would set alarm bells ringing. In Brighton, no pictures doesn\u2019t always mean that the flat is in bad shape. Agents are known to put flats on the market before they can book in a professional photographer, so it can be worth taking a gamble and arranging an early viewing. There\u2019s still a chance the flat will be terrible, but it\u2019s also an easy way to snag a hidden gem.<\/p>\n<h2>Do choose your area wisely<\/h2>\n<p>A spot in the heart of the city might seem appealing, but it\u2019s also a guarantee for being charged the highest rent in exchange for the pokiest rooms.
