Recent research undertaken by Savills reveals that homes with a sea view have remained among the best sellers during the recession.

Buyers in the market for million pound houses are attracted to such areas as Sandbanks in Dorset, which has some of the most valuable sea views in the UK.

Sandbanks property prices have more than doubled in the last ten years, and in such prime property hotspots, location makes all the difference. Even the tiniest change in view can significantly affect the value of your home.

Max Storey, Director of Elite Property Search, has seen an increase in interest in properties in and around Sandbanks, particularly in those that could be an investment.

“Elite have observed renewed interest in Sandbanks, particularly with clients who are looking to purchase development opportunities,” Mr Storey said. “We are currently seeking to acquire three properties that have either agreed planning permission or potential to develop.”

Mr Storey added that there has also been more interest shown in areas just outside of Sandbanks.

“There would appear to be an increased interest in other waterside locations close to Sandbanks,” he added. “Areas such as Lilliput, Wareham and the Isle of Purbeck have become recent hotspots for our clients, as buyers seek to acquire much of what Sandbanks has to offer for a fraction of the price.

“High net worth buyers have definitely not left Sandbanks and the surrounding areas. A property on Western Avenue, Branksome Park, recently sold for £4m – a new record for this road.”

As buyers agents the team at Elite Property Search know that you will have put a lot of thought into choosing the kind of property you want before contacting them.

Investing in the market for million pound houses means that you will have a list of stringent requirements to be met, and that’s why Elite are committed to helping you find exactly the property you want.

If you are looking for a Sandbanks property with sea views, they have access to the widest range of estate agents’ portfolios, as well as exclusive off market sources, and will only bring to your attention properties that meet your strict criteria.

Elite’s Andrew Findley added: “Elite Property Search, with their track record of purchasing for clients some of the most expensive homes to be sold on Sandbanks, are being increasingly contacted by buyers looking to access their considerable amount of privately available prime property in Sandbanks and surrounding areas.”

Elite pride themselves on taking a proactive approach as buyers agents, accessing all the available properties that meet your requirements.

Reports by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) show that the entire housing market is expected to experience a bounce in the aftermath of the UK general election.

Uncertainty about who would be in charge and what this would mean for the housing market may have led some sellers and buyers to hold off, but this is expected to change in coming months.

Generally speaking, the million pound property market fared better than the general housing market during the recession, but the increase in activity is expected to be seen across the board.

No matter what kind of property you are looking for, from country estates to houses by the sea, Elite Property Search can provide a complete service to aid you in your relocation to the UK’s prestige property hotspots.

As well as managing the search, Elite confidentially manage the whole acquisition process to ensure your relocation runs as smoothly as possible.
