Britain's priciest and most affordable seaside property hotspots
Poole in Dorset has been identified as the most expensive seaside property location in Britain by housing platform Rightmove, which ranked coastal houses for sale by average asking price. The average asking price of a pied-a-terre in Sandbanks, Poole, would set you back almost £1.3m, the data showed. It's the only coastal spot on the list with an average asking price of more than £1m. A close second was Canford Cliffs — also in Poole. Both locations are cheaper now than they were a year ago. Meanwhile, properties in Milford-on-Sea in Hampshire clocked average asking prices of nearly three-quarters of a million pounds. It was one of the only places in the top 10 that hadn't decreased in value on an annual basis.

Rightmove also laid out the most affordable seaside locations for buyers. Saltcoats in Ayrshire, Scotland, took first place in that list with average prices of just 10% of the value of properties in Sandbanks. That was even after houses on the Scottish coast had gained value in double digits since the same time a year ago. On average, Saltcoats homes will set a buyer back around £122,208 — up 13% from the same point in 2024. Coastal dwellings in the north of England were also singled out as costing less on average. Peterlee in County Durham, Ashington in Northumberland and Bootle in Merseyside were among the most affordable locales. The latest data from Nationwide shows that buying a home in the UK became slightly more affordable in June. British house prices unexpectedly fell by an average of 0.8% amid signs of a slowdown in the property sector after the end of a stamp duty holiday earlier in the year. Across the UK, the average house price in June was £271,619. Regionally, Northern Ireland remained the strongest performer, though it did see a slowing in annual price growth to 9.7%, from 13.5% in the first quarter. An average house there came in at £208,686. Scotland recorded a 4.5% annual rise to £189,259, while Wales saw a 2.6% increase to £212,969. Average property prices in England as a whole climbed 2.5% to £309,570, a slight softening from the 3.3% annual rise seen last quarter.

"Average prices in Northern England (comprising North, North West, Yorkshire & The Humber, East Midlands and West Midlands) were up 3.1% year on year, whilst those in Southern England (South West, Outer South East, Outer Metropolitan, London and East Anglia) were up 2.2%."

Council wants to charge locals £70 to park outside their own homes
Residents will have to pay £70 to park outside their own homes, according to council plans. Parking meters could be installed along roads within one kilometre (0.6 miles) of the seafront, with residents offered parking permits for £70, according to plans from Lib Dem-led Bournemouth, Christchurch and Pool (BCP) council. Residents have accused the council of hypocrisy after it sold two 'key' seafront car parks, with the scheme labelled 'another attack' on motorists by the council, which has declared a climate emergency. The local authority has previously been accused of causing traffic mayhem with prolonged roadworks to lay almost 50 miles of new cycle lanes in the area in an attempt to make travel more sustainable. Plans for new parking meters come after a spate of 'Wild West' parking incidents as tourists left their cars on pavements, grass verges and even roundabouts. Officials claim the extra revenue from the parking charges will help pay for more tow-trucks to take away illegally parked cars. Motorists currently have to pay to park on most streets in the centre of Bournemouth but the large residential areas in Canford Cliffs, Branksome Chine and Westcliff, as well as Boscombe and Southbourne, are free. Peter Schroeder, the chairman of the Branksome Park Residents Association, called the scheme 'stupid'. He said: 'This proposal comes from the same council that is selling off key car parks. It is hypocrisy. We say no to residents paying to park their own cars on their own streets. 'We already have some of the highest council tax charges in the area. Charging residents and their guests and tradespeople doing work in houses and flats is a stupid idea. 'The council should give much stiffer penalties to those who do illegally park. £50 is probably nothing to them. If it was £1,000 they would think twice.' Shaun White, a resident, said on social media: 'How is charging for parking spaces which are currently free going to prevent people from parking illegally on grass verges and double yellows?' 'Revenue for additional parking enforcement' Last weekend, as thousands of tourists visited Bournemouth, more than 1,000 cars were ticketed for being illegally parked and ten were towed away. Councillor Richard Herrett, the portfolio holder for destination, leisure and commercial operations at BCP Council, said: 'We welcome more than 10 million visitors annually to our seafront. 'We know at busy times we have a significant issue with illegal or inconsiderate parking. This significantly impacts road safety and can affect the quality of life for local residents. 'These proposals to extend seafront paid-for parking could generate revenue for additional parking enforcement and give us the ability to better enforce illegal parking across a wider area including increasing the number of vehicles which could be towed away in the worst parking instances.' The proposal will now go out for public consultation before a final decision is made.

Hannon relishing Royal Ascot rematch with Lockinge third Rosallion
The Hannon family have an exceptional record in their local racecourse's Group One highlight, with the likes of Paco Boy (2010), Canford Cliffs (2011), Olympic Glory (2014) and Night Of Thunder (2015) on the roll of honour. Rosallion drifted out to 9-4 from his early morning position as favourite and having not run since winning the St James's Palace Stakes 12 months ago, a lack of match practice told in the end. He was beaten two-and-a-quarter lengths by John and Thady Gosden's Lead Artist, but Hannon is relishing locking horns with those ahead of him once again in the Queen Anne Stakes next month. Hannon said: 'He's an extremely good horse and will strip a lot fitter next time and will take a lot of beating at Ascot. I'm looking forward to Ascot. 'I think for all big owners and trainers, all roads lead to Ascot and especially with this horse it is almost impossible to get him to run his best race on his first race. 'He's a year older now but he did take a bit (of getting ready) last year and that may have just cost us a Guineas. But he's proved he's the horse he was last year and almost hit the front there and he will improve for it. 'It boils down to match fitness and I have no doubt he will run very well at Ascot. They are all very good horses and of course I'm disappointed not to win, but I'm sure in a couple of hours I will be happy he has actually run a really good race. 'He travelled into the race lovely and Sean (Levey, jockey on Rosallion) and William (Buick) on Notable Speech are probably both in the same boat in thinking that their horses will improve massively and they are both proven Group One winners.' Also making his comeback was the aforementioned Notable Speech, who denied Rosallion in the 2000 Guineas last season before seeing the tables turned at Royal Ascot. Just a short head separated the pair at Newbury, with Notable Speech's trainer Charlie Appleby joining Hannon in looking ahead to another high-profile clash at the Royal meeting. Notable Speech was not disgraced in the Lockinge (Andrew Matthews/PA) 'I'm delighted and William said he showed all his old enthusiasm,' said Appleby. 'He's travelled and you can see from Will's body language he's holding on to him and tracking the horse he felt was the right horse to go and attack. 'He just got tired in the last 200 yards but it will put him spot on for Ascot.' One of the early stars of the Flat season has undoubtedly been Roger Teal's Dancing Gemini, who is still searching for an elusive top-level triumph having rattled the crossbar once again in being beaten just a neck in second. Dancing Gemini (right) went down fighting (Steven Paston/PA) Lead Artist was 13 lengths behind Dancing Gemini when Teal's charge won the bet365 Mile at Sandown last month and the trainer said: 'The winner has beaten us before and he obviously needed that race badly at Sandown. I did think he was well overpriced and not to be taken lightly. 'The ground was rattling fast, Ryan (Moore) said it was as quick as he's ever been on and just felt the ground might have beaten us. 'We don't duck and dive, he's only gone down a neck and he's put the rest of the field a good distance behind him. 'He had an awkward draw on the flank there (in stall one) so Ryan had to take him back to get a bit of cover, he said he was a little further back than he wanted to be but what else do you do when you're stuck out there? 'He's gone down on his sword and he hasn't let us down. He'll be a Group One winner on his day.'
