Location is a major concern for all property buyers, from those purchasing their first home to those moving to a ‘forever property’ or looking for a quiet place to retire. The same applies when buying a second property, whether for private use, holiday lets or a combination of the two.
Holidays by the sea are one of the UK’s most popular domestic getaways, with online searches for terms like ‘beach holidays UK’ and ‘beach cottages UK’ reaching as many as 10,000 unique searches per month.
That’s a lot of potential visitors for a holiday let, so choosing the right property by the coast is important if you are considering entering the UK holiday lets market, or expanding an existing portfolio.
Even if you are buying a holiday home solely for your own exclusive private use, finding the right location and being able to move quickly to secure your dream destination is vital in a competitive market.
As selling at auction has become more popular, the variety of lots on offer has also grown. Today it is not uncommon for property auctions to feature 100+ lots with contracts exchanging on dozens of properties.
With so many homes being sold under the hammer, finding a holiday home in the right location and within your budget is easier than ever.
Below are several unique holiday homes that are coming up for sale with Edward Mellor Property Actions on 11th-12th September 2024.
