THE YEAR-ROUND LURE OF A COASTAL HOME
The rise of flexible working and a desire to spend more time in nature have led to a wave of homebuyers making a full-time move to the coast.
The coastal market is no longer dominated by holiday-home buyers. Flexible working, coupled with a desire to step away from technology (at least for some of the time), means that more people are choosing to live full-time by the sea.
Elements such as accessibility and the quality of internet communications are more important than ever, especially for those relocating full-time.

Different locations will attract different sorts of buyers, depending on their interests. But the wish list will often include finding an area with a strong community spirit that residents can embrace, whether they are there for the summer or year-round; good pubs and restaurants; and a strong selection of local independent shops.
There has also been a marked uptick in interest from those wanting to spend time in nature – whether that’s cold-water swimming, surfing, yoga on the beach or a blustery walk along the coastal path. And that’s not just during the summer season any longer. It’s true year-round.
