New data from the UK’s biggest property website Rightmove reveals that the average asking price for a beach hut has jumped by more than £10,000 in a year, from £39,382 to £50,336, an increase of 28%.

Rightmove’s Property Expert Tim Bannister said: “Beach huts have become increasingly sought after over the past couple of years as more people headed to the British seaside for their holidays. This has driven prices up, with the frenzied demand leading to some being sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. For those thinking of taking their summer break on the beach to the next level, we’ve picked out five brilliant beach huts available right now to consider.”

James Eniffer, Director at Sheen’s Estate Agents in Clacton-on-Sea, said: “We have seen a huge demand for people wanting a place near the seaside, which has driven prices upwards. The Tendring coast offers miles of impressive coastal walks along with some blue flag winning beaches too. Being so close to London with both direct rail links to London Liverpool Street and to the A12, the Tendring area is very accessible for a day tripper looking for an escape from the larger towns and cities. We often find that once people have a beach hut in the area, they hold onto them for many years for each generation of the family to enjoy.”
