The Homeline team get Shaken & Stirred in Southbourne

There can be no doubt, the south coast, and the local area in particular, remain property hot spots with a buoyant and upwardly trending housing market. Earlier this summer research conducted by the Halifax showed that house prices in Bournemouth have been rising at higher rates than almost anywhere else in the country; and in the UK Quality of Life index, the Bournemouth and Poole conurbation always ranks highly in the top locations to live.

For Poole based Homeline Mortgages, their client base confirms this, with an increase in purchasers seeking to buy property in Dorset.

Carolyn Dickinson, Marketing Manager for Homeline Mortgages said, “Our business is growing year on year, largely as we become more well-known and attract new business through client recommendations. We are experts in our field, but customers always say that it is our helpful and hassle free approach that they particularly like. We aim to support our customers as much as we can by taking the stress out of arranging a mortgage. We cover the whole of the mortgage market, so can access the best deal depending upon our buyer’s individual circumstances.”

As part of the Homeline team’s community remit, they once again chose to be a sponsor of the Southbourne Shake & Stir Festival, an event which attracted record numbers this year.

Carolyn added, “ We’ve been involved for a few years now and this coastal vintage festival really does have the feel good factor. Helped by the wonderful weather, we had the opportunity to chat to lots of families who may be interested in moving to the Southbourne area. We have seen more enquiries from home buyers looking at Southbourne and Christchurch, so it’s great to feel part of the local community.”

According to Rightmove most of sales in Southbourne during the last year were flats, selling for an average price of £203,303. Detached properties sold for an average of £464,970, with semi-detached properties fetching £314,928.

Homeline Mortgages deals with all major high street lenders as well as lesser known names, and your adviser will approach the lender that best matches your needs, giving you a higher chance of a mortgage offer.

Recent transactions in the Southbourne area have included first time buyers purchasing flats in need of renovation and modernisation; young families up-sizing to bigger family homes, and retirees investigating releasing equity from their property.

“Southbourne is clearly a popular place to purchase. It’s close to the sea, has a village vibe and lots of independent shops, bars and cafes, as well as a broad choice of schools. There’s something for all age groups which is why property seems to sell quickly in the Southbourne area. We look forward to helping more house buyers purchase in this great part of the world.”
