If an uninterrupted sea view straight from your window is on your property wish list it may be something of a disappointment to learn that the price tag to achieve that dream keeps rising.
A sea view is one of the most sought after features of a new home for so many people, especially if it is not blocked in any way by neighbours' rooftops or other buildings - but the better the quality of the sea view, usually the higher the price.
Even before the Covid-19 pandemic hit homes with a sea view were considered to be prime real estate with an asking price to match, but in December 2020, property portal Rightmove reported their research for the year when the pandemic hit concluded a sea view could add up to as much as 31% to a house price across the UK and 27% in Wales.
