Colby Short is a trusted name in the UK property market, and he spoke to Property Reporter, saying; “Not only do good views give homes a special and unique factor that others cannot replicate, Britain’s strict planning codes mean that they are increasingly unlikely to be spoiled by new developments, thus protecting the good view premium regardless of what’s going on in the housing market. As such, buyers will often go above and beyond to secure a home with a good view and this often means paying far more than they may have for another similar property. It’s no surprise to see so many coastal locations ranking amongst some of the highest premiums paid for a home with a view. Our obsession with the sea makes it one of the most desirable views you can find from the comfort of your own home.”

Colby Short also said; “If you own a home with a view, you hold a rare and winning hand that will reward you whenever you choose to play it. But the view still has to be the icing on an all-around appealing cake. So when it comes to selling, make sure to showcase your home at its very best and utilise a good local estate agent, who will be able to sell your home to its fullest potential.”
