Snap up seaside property now, say experts

First-time buyers have been advised to invest in a Sussex seafront property before prices escalate and the last remaining bargains disappear.

Despite the rising house prices, first-time buyers can still find an affordable home in a number of Sussex's seaside resorts.

Seafront properties are still available in many of the county's towns for £150,000, less than the national average house price of £209,000.

The last remaining bargain hot spots include Worthing, Littlehampton, Shoreham, Horsham, Bognor, Hastings, St Leonards and Eastbourne.

Council leaders and estate agents have advised people to invest in Sussex's seaside towns at the earliest opportunity before prices escalate.

Melanie Bien, of the mortgage broker Savills Private Finance, said: "Pretty seaside towns can act as a premium to house prices.

"The attraction of UK seaside resorts is growing as regeneration of towns and the clean-up of beaches make them more attractive to nostalgic holiday makers and home purchasers alike."

And Martin Ellis, chief economist at the Halifax, said: "There are still some bargains to be had for first time buyers and home movers."

A study of house price inflation around Britain's favourite seaside towns has revealed property prices have soared 223 per cent since 2000, compared with a national increase of 195 per cent.

Worthing Borough Council leader Keith Mercer said: "Sussex is one of the most sought after locations in the country to live.

"We have noticed a lot of young people and families moving to Worthing because of the difference in property value compared to other towns.

"We are pleased because part of our council policy is to encourage young families to move to Worthing.

"Worthing is excellent value for money with good shops and schools which makes it an attractive place to live.

"But how long it continues is another matter because eventually we are going to run out of property."

The regeneration of Hastings and St Leonards has increased property prices but homes in the towns remain amongst the cheapest in Sussex.

Hastings Borough Council leader Peter Pragnell said: "Hastings is a wonderful place to live and it is only going to get better.

"People have been buying in Hastings for five or six years since the regeneration started and it has become a more attractive place to live and work."

Bognor is another investment hot spot because a £500 million regeneration project is in the pipeline.

There will be new cafes, restaurants, shops, hotels, offices, housing, entertainment venues, open spaces and a public health centre. About £100 million will be spent on the seafront.

Arun District Councillor Sandra Daniells, who represents Pevensey in Bognor, said: "Bognor is seen as the poor relation but that is exactly why we want to regenerate it.

"It is a good place to invest now while the prices are relatively low because after the regeneration they will rise."

Eastbourne has long been touted as a boom town but the latest Halifax figures show the housing market has increased by 14 per cent over the past three years, which is one of the smallest rises in the country.

A report by agents Knight Frank, called Surging South, predicts a hike in property prices because people are moving to the town from London.

The number of homeowners commuting to London has increased by 82 per cent in a decade.

Eastbourne Borough Council leader David Tutt hopes property prices do not rocket because people are already priced out of the market.

He said: "We might have some property prices which are lower than other resorts, particularly Brighton, but I wouldn't call them bargains.

"We have an awful lot of young people trying to get on the property ladder but it is impossible.

"When people talk about bargains it is applicable for those people on high wages who move down from London and not for the people living here."

Have you moved to one of the towns mentioned to take advantage of the lower property prices? Tell us about it below.

Great Idea.Brighton could start the way. All let properties should have to pay extra council tax as they generally have a multiple occupancy. Surely there should be a limit ot how many houses some people own - some have many houses but they can only live in one house at a time.

Those of us old enough to remember, see certain similarities with what happened in the last property crash.

It is a bit more complex than that George. Everyone needs a home and the security ownership can give. Do you really want a return to the landowners and serfs? Why is their so much greed in this country nowadays? It is not necessary. There are lots of ways of provision for retirement without exploiting others. Multiple property owners wouldn't like it if they were in the same position.

One thing though, sooner or later the government will realise that this is an untouched cash cow and tax the death out of the buy to let brigade. Sooner that happens, the better (oh and I am a homeowner, not sure of a few bob, before I am attacked and told I'm jealous).

Our lovely new PM Gordon started all this when he raided everyones pensions a few years ago, it made buy to let seem a lot safer than pensions, unfortunately this has priced property out of a generations reach. Unfortunately, the only way to resolve it now is to gradually introduce a buy to let tax to return some property to the market, and give people more reason to buy pensions!

These buy to let taxes are an excellent idea. However, some provision must be in place to make sure extra costs are not passed on to tenants. Maybe some degree of rent control where the council decides the limits of rent?

Jon's right. If pension schemes were made more attractive, secure, and not able to be ransacked by the corporate fat cats, people would invest there. That is surely better than taxing landlords who will either sell their properties for max profit (out of reach) or pass on their financial burden to the tennants. You can't legislate against rent rises, Pam. The poor will be losers.

A bargain at £150,000! With most mortgage companies now wanting 10% deposit a first time buyer only needs to find £15,000 deposit, £1,500 stamp duty, £600 solicitor fees, £600 searches charge. That is only just shy of £18k up front. With saving rates so low it is no wonder there are so few FTBs.

Well lets all go with Brad's 'gut feeling'

Many buy to let Landlords who have come into the market it the last (approx) 2 years or so are finding their rent only just covers or does not cover the mortgage. They are therefore banking on capital growth and are therefore having to be looking at long term investments, not the quick earners of the last decade. We are talking upwards of 15 years at least. No matter wether we have a drop in prices or even if you believe there will be a crash, property has always increased in value over these kind of timeframes.

Rent increases are not so easy to beat for a tenant, unless they have a protected tenancy. (very rare) If you won't agree to the proposed increase and if the market allows, the Landlord will make his excuses, give you notice to vacate and remarket the property at the higher rate. Its pretty straight forward and there are no simple answers as people here suggest. If all Landlords are pushed to increase rents by being penalised in taxes or other ways, all rents will rise and if you don't want to pay it, someone else will.

Rob sounds like a good Landlord who looks after his tenants and also has an asset for his retirement. Why should be be penalised because everyone wants to be a homeowner. Not everyone can be a homeowner in the same way as we can't all go to University or all be self employed. It just wouldn't work

Thanks, Brad. That site illustrates what's wrong with rent controls and why they don't work, too: reasons used to teach the economics of supply and demand and what happens by artificially fixing prices - or subsidising. If the l/lord loses out through rent control he/she will no longer spend on maintenance or sell out to orgs that really don't care. I think we all know a couple of "infamous" landlords - do you want them owning your home? The building of new developments are the only way of securing a percentage of "affordable" homes.

Hello Stu, this is a complex debate with no easy answers. One thing I could say regarding your concerns of maintenance is that, rented properties must be inspected and deemed habitable before tenants move in. Yearly inspections should be made to make sure things are safe.

But someone mentions not everyone can be a homeowner. Why is that? I'm no expert on economics, but would be interested to know what not everyone could be a homeowner.

One would hope that the dimishing returns and the higher cost of borrowing will stop multiple home ownership and cool the buy to let boom. That, in turn, will allow more properties to be available to those who wish to buy to live in their own home. Don't see many buy-to-let landlords buying up empty properties in Molescomb or Whitehawk for social letting, it's ALL about profit.

We place too much on Property being an Investment, instead of enjoying life. A house might be worth x amount of £s but assets are only realised on selling, then you have to buy somewhere else to live! or unless you are dead.

There is no choice in a free market economy. Unless you have money. I want to buy a home, but I can't. Where's the choice and fairness in that? A home isn't a luxury... it's a necessity!

Capitalism is based soley on making money. But when basic needs such as shelter, warmth, water and food are turned into profit making commodities the poorest lose out. They are denied CHOICE and in the end more and more taxpayers' money is used to subsidies the rich property owners through the benefit system.

There is no point tinkering with capitalism because you will never have EQUALITY under it. Unfairness is one of the principles of capitalism and people have just got to realise that we need to get rid of it if ANY of our problems are to be solved.

Rich v. Poor? What about those wanting to just provide for theirs/their kids future in a responsible, hard working way? Should we all hand it over to you? Generating money to pay for your list above (plus taxes) all by yourself isn't a hate crime like your diatribe suggests. I do agree a home IS a need, but actually owning it isn't - rich or poor. Owning it is how you chose to spend you're money.

Two points...

1) All property is theft... who was here first to claim it as theirs? When they die, who does it belong to?

2) Providing for YOUR kids alone is selfish primative and is part of a social system that pre-dates history invitiably resulting in humans fighting each other for resources, land, power, etc (sound familiar). There is enough money and resources in the world for EVERYONE to have a decent standard of living. We should be providing a future for EVERYONE. Home-ownership has become almost a necessity for many because pensions are being taken away from us by the rich as global capitalism threatens their wealth and power. All housing should be publically-owned (with each occupant still being able to do what they want with their homes, ie. decoration, stonecladding, extensions, etc, unlike the current absurd controls on private renting (I'm not even allowed to hang a picture!)) with controlled rents paid instead of a life time of mortgages. That would sort out the housing crisis wouldn't it?

And can I just say... I'm not an advocate of what precisely happened in Russia or Cuba (which is certainly not the Socialism I'm arguing for), but because of the planned economy and public-ownership in these countries there was housing for everyone, free healthcare not under threat of cuts, full employment and free education at all levels.

What they take/took for granted... we're still fighting for in Britain, the fourth richest country in the world (apparently).

Some good points raised Stu. I think more could be done to get people on property ladder. Shared ownership is a step in right direction. But for young people, sacrifice is needed to afford somewhere. I think young people are unlucky with the timing of the latest property boom. But history has taught us with every boom comes a bust.

But the thing is Stu, and I may be wrong, but isn't a mortgage payment normally less than a monthly rental payment on a property?

Answer for Jeff: Allocation based on need.

If you're on your own and need to get to work, in Amex for example, you'd probably get a one bed flat in Kemp Town or Hanover.

A two parent family with five children will get a big house, one bedroom per child, etc...

At the moment we have individuals owning seven or eight five bed mansions and working class families in bedsits. Socialism is about providing enough for everyone. It is simply common sense.

It is irresponsible to give property peddlers this kind of platform. When sales are going well you don't need to shriek "Hurry, hurry, hurry, when they're gone they're gone!"

Signs of a cooling market and reasons to fear interest rate rises and market turndown have motivated this sales patter. Add to that the consequences of the flood now coming to us as a promised 10% rise in food prices and you would be better advised to remember the old adage that "Cash is King" when the boom time ends.

Today it is a very different market to the 80s especailly in the most popular place to live in Britain(Brighton) with its limited housing stock, prices will not fall.

As for landlords they already pay heftily in taxes the same as any other business to be exact, and this is put on top of personal taxes, so most of it is paid at 40%. If it was not for this investment Brighton would be a s**t hole and you would not want to buy here anyway so just rent like a lot of other people do, especially in Europe. Most landlords are older who have worked hard to make the investment, this is what the young should do and stop expecting everything handed on a plate whilst you go out and booze your lives away.

The current housing market is so different to what it was in the 80s. People keep talking of a bust, I just cannot see it happening. There might be a slight dip like there was in the late 90s but it will recover and go up.

Why isn't it like the 80s? Well, interest rates for one are still very low if you compare them to that decade. Also, supply and demand. Simple fact, there are not enough houses being built. Take that with increased immigration and we are having a supply issue. Banks are still lending money and being more 'inventive' on how much money they will lend out and will also lend out for longer periods of times.

And brighton, well, it's probably the coolest city in England and one people want to live in. With that sort of demand prices will just keep on growing, they will prob slow down like the rest of the country but I cant see them dropping.

why does no one remember the good ol estate agent in this? we bought our first house back in the 90s or 68 ,000. a 3 bed semi in Surrey. modernised it and sold for 130,000, bought another to do the same, 4 bed det bungalow 4 years later. sold 3 years later for 232,000. all to get our mortgage down. but meanwhile, the property keeps booming and the equity gets smaller, and profit less. materials get dearer and so does cost of living and council tax. but behind all this, I have communicated with estate agents all over on looking up property and the regions prices, watching the property creep up in some places and shoot through the roof in others. its not originally location,its not about redeveloping areas alone. its about the estate agents big fat commission, who governs them, no one. we pay for what ever it is priced at, if they spread the word on a place being hot property, we all believe them. its caused so much confusion and money lost to people who believe what they are buying is so exclusive in its area , for eg. Cornwall went up so high, the agents believed since working from home has come more possible via computer business that commuting is not such a necessary so would attract Londoners. I must say that so many have come back that I know, because reality is, its a real culture shock there, maybe beautiful but its a community of VERY local people, and it affects there children who have worked farms, and the tourist trade and all local jobs are not of a good pay,buying second homes there is a bad investment as the young local labourers cannot afford a property, as they have been up against prices aimed towards the second home buyers market. so whos going to rewire, plumb, etc the second home buyers property if there is no locals to do it? reports are that alot of second home buyers do not keep up properties maintence as should do, and only let so many months of the year anyway, so its left to deteriorate over the years. this is a hazard to any remaining local neighbours homes they encourage household crimes, and are a fire hazard. the agents continue to push up the prices at the price they choose, who says any house is any price they say, we,ve watched them jump the prices to suit their pockets, if they get all this commission then its not hard to see that as no one is out their controlling their valuations, and it has long spiralled out of control. so blame the estate agents, its them that determine the valuation of a property, they have so got it wrong for the economy.
