Buyers benefit from no stamp duty and unlike second homes in Dorset, there is no additional council tax liability as reported by Luxury Property News.

John Beauchamp of estate agent DOMVS said: “With more people seeking low-maintenance ways to enjoy the coast without the tax complications of second home ownership, beach huts like this make increasing financial sense.

“For those who’ve dreamed of a base by the sea, a beach hut offers long-term value and lifestyle appeal.

“You’re not just buying a spot on the beach, you’re buying into a secure and proven asset class.

“We’re seeing growing demand from buyers who want more than just a smart investment – they want something they can actually enjoy.

“Beach huts offer that rare combination of capital stability and lifestyle reward, which is exactly why they remain so appealing.”
