Once overlooked, many UK coastal towns are experiencing renewed interest from renters, buyers, and investors.
Drivers include:
- Remote and hybrid work
- Lifestyle-led relocation
- Regeneration and tourism investment
Rental demand in some coastal locations is now outpacing supply, particularly for quality, year-round accommodation rather than short-term holiday lets.
That said, coastal markets are highly segmented. Some benefit from permanent population growth, while others remain seasonal and volatile.
The opportunity lies in identifying towns where:
• Employment is diversifying
• Infrastructure is improving
• Demand is no longer purely discretionary
At DXXV, coastal investing is approached selectively. Lifestyle appeal alone does not guarantee sustainable returns.
