Dorset's Sandbanks, renowned for its golden beaches and luxurious lifestyle, retains its crown as Britain's most expensive seaside location.

Lloyds Bank's latest figures reveal that the average house price in Sandbanks now stands at £965,708. This represents a 3% decrease, or £33,595, compared to 2023.

This sustained high value underscores the enduring appeal of Sandbanks as a prime coastal destination.
