Yes, so would most other people, which pushes up the prices, so there's less bang for your buck and the deep joy of being buried in summer tourists and having second home owners turn your location into a ghost town at this time of year. Inland by a 20 minute drive and you'll miss most of that, and the worst of the weather if it's the Atlantic seaboard.Scotbot said:

The only things I wouldn't compromise on when buying was being on an 'estate', wanting a garden and ideally mountain / water views.
Aside from that most of you would hate my home 😁 main road out the front, railway line out the back, no on-site parking, middle floor end flat but my goodness the views are fantastic as is my private garden.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
