An affluent suburb of Poole has been named the UK’s top coastal property hotspot by Rightmove.
The property website said Dorset’s Canford Cliffs saw asking prices jumping nearly a quarter (+24%) over the last year to more than £1.2m - more than any other seaside area in the country.
Brixham in Devon ranked second on the list (+23%), while Abergele, in Conwy in Wales, was third (+22%). The list was dominated by places in the South West but also included Skegness, in Lincolnshire, and Gorleston-on-Sea in Norfolk.
