Average pension in Brighton
If you’ve been paying into your pension and managing your own finances all your life, you might now be ready to speak to a qualified financial adviser to make sure you get the most out of it once you retire.
Many financially independent people in Brighton and the surrounding areas have benefited from professional financial advice over the years, whether it’s regarding pensions, investments or general savings. The South East region, in fact, has the highest average pension fund size in the country, so it’s perhaps no surprise that financial advice is in high demand there. People in the region:
- Have an average pension of £135,305
- Have a life expectancy of 81 years
- Should expect a pension shortfall of £15,935
Whatever your requirements, it’s important to get a hold of your finances as you head towards retirement so you know you’re giving yourself the best chance of the lifestyle you want.

Part of your financial plans might involve looking at your home’s potential contribution to your pension fund. With an average house price of £355,948 in the South East region, you could be sitting on equity that could change the whole complexion of your retired years. Moreover, the average house price there has increased by 10.5% year on year, so it’s absolutely worth speaking to a financial adviser to understand your options.

Marchmont
For those who love a stunning sea view and plenty of room to stretch out in retirement, Saltdean might be the one. It’s only a stone’s throw from bustling Brighton and features an enviable amount of coastline, which is equally ideal for hiking and cycling enthusiasts and beach bums alike.
Woodingdean
How about all the best bits of Brighton, but with better views and more space? Head to Woodingdean to spend your days in a place where there’s plenty going on and, whenever you feel like it, plenty of public transport to get you down to the beach, too. It’s just up the hill from both Ovingdean and Rottingdean, plus Brighton Beach itself, and just down the hill (approximately two miles) from the home of Brighton and Hove Albion FC, the American Express Community Stadium.
Preston Park
Some incredible Victorian architecture merges with the modern in Preston Park to deliver a truly striking place to live, so it’s plain to see why plenty of retirees love it. There’s a noticeably warm community feel and all the goings-on you could want during your days off in Preston Park, including the biggest Pride festival in the country. The gardens are a bit bigger there, too, just for the days when the park doesn’t quite cut it.
