Dorset beach huts are all the rage now that the credit crisis is reaching its zenith. To many buyers of holiday homes, a beach hut makes eminent sense - after years of escalating beach property prices, the cost of Dorset beach huts are becoming more realistic than ever before. Buyers are managing to strike deals with sellers who are in need of quick sales, snapping up once-in-a-generation bargains. Estate agents dealing in beach huts are now being flooded with calls from potential buyers. The lure of the pristine, unspoilt Dorset coastline has led to a literal boom in Dorset huts. What most captivates buyers is the panoramic scenery over Lyme Bay from Portland Bill, Dorset. This location is totally unspoiled, and buying a Dorset beach hut there is truly a rare opportunity.
Nor is this boom in Dorset beach huts the only case in point. There are a number of deals for beach properties happening along the South West's Jurassic Coast (thus called because of the abundance of fossils there). Beach huts at Branscombe, East Devon are also in great demand because of the beauty of the location, and also the increasing affordability.
Thanks to the escalating demand, there is no limit to the possibilities open to owners of Dorset beach huts today. In fact, there are many ways in which one can make such an investment pay. For instance, one can rent out a beach hut for overnight stays, at very profitable rents that can go as high as £250 and £500 a week. While rental income is taxable, a Dorset beach hut owner can offset the cost of any expenses against tax - including the cost of a mortgage.
In fact, buying a beach hut at Mudeford Sandbanks, Dorset can be the most profitable investment a buyer will ever make. People who had bought Dorset beach huts in this area for as low as £4,000 around twenty years ago are now selling them for as much as £150,000. In other words, one can book close to a 3,200% profit on Dorset beach huts, where the increase has been only around 520% for other properties over the same period. However, what should really count is not the investment angle, but the fact that buying a beach hut is the best investment that buyers can ever make for their families' happiness.
There are many options when it comes to buying Dorset beach huts, thanks to the many stunning beaches in beautiful Dorset. One can choose from Avon Beach at Christchurch, an ideal beach for families, with plenty of soft sand and the availability of canoes and deck chairs on hire, Mouth Beach at Eype, an amazing gravel and sand beach framed by magnificent cliffs such as Golden Cap, which, at 191 metres above sea level, is the highest cliff on the South Coast. There is also Charmouth West Beach near Lyme Regis, which is a sandy beach that stretches for two miles and features a lot of fossils and rock pools.
There are many other locations in Dorset on which one can buy a beach hut, but one should consult a property expert before making a final choice. This will ensure that one's Dorset beach hut will be an investment of a lifetime.
