The building

Hove St Patrick stands on the west side of Cambridge Road, on the boundary between Brighton and Hove, and is within walking distance of Brighton Train Station and the seafront. The Grade II-listed church was built in 1858 to the designs of H E Kendall Jnr., in an idiosyncratic Gothic style of Victorian Decorated character, with external facades of Kentish ragstone and stone dressings, and slate roofs. The church was part converted into a homeless night shelter with hostel accommodation in the 1980s. The night hostel closed in 2012, and the hostel areas were used and managed by a homeless charity until recent times.

How a group buys it

  1. A reader enters a pledge: a name and an amount, recorded on this page. It is a declaration of intent, not a payment. Nothing is charged, and a pledge may be withdrawn on request.
  2. When the pledges against the building cover the asking price, together with a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep, the page closes and the pledgers are introduced to one another.
  3. The group settles its legal form: a nonprofit, a co-operative, a land trust, or a single buyer collecting donations. An attorney drafts the instrument, and a title company or solicitor holds the funds in escrow.
  4. The purchase completes, and the group decides the building's use: worship, a hall, a school, housing, or simple preservation. The deed records the arrangement.
