its sad really. Beach huts used to be a working-class thing. Now rich c&nts have cornered the market with something else that used to be nice for us. Any time we get something nice we dont have it for long………. It's like how field / farm workers used to live in cottages in the countryside. Now they are mostly owned by multi-millionaires who want a second home…..
Maybe if I won the lottery, I love it there, but there are nicer places you could spend that money to buy, too much traffic in Bournemouth for me, want to move somewhere quieter. Noticed the caravan park had really expensive chalets over the water too, there were a lot nicer and some had roofs for entertaining with sea views to the Isle of Wight.
absolutely mental , i used to live in Bournemouth many years ago and used to frequent Hengistbury head a lot , that price is just taking the preverbial
Hang on, so the lease is from the council? so what they are selling is not so much the wooden hut but the privilege of leasing the land from the council, that's not right at all, this is a racket and someone should challenge this in a court of law.
Back in the day I was seeing a girl whose family one of those beach huts, we stayed in it for a weekend and it was pretty awful, not comfortable at all and the wind howled around all night. Couldn’t get my head around the appeal of owning one of those.
The showers are not outside, in each toilet block there is a hut owners section that is only accessible with the key.
This has private heated showers and toilets in.
However many huts have cassette toilets, like a motorhome would have, so at night you don't need to go outside.
On top of the purchase cost, last time I looked it was almost 6k a year in ground rent, then you have to pay council tax on top.
You can only stay for 3 weeks in one go max and the registered owner must be the main user, if you sell it or want to change ownership 25% of the value of the hut must be paid to the council within a time limit otherwise they take ownership of it. This is also the case if the owner dies and leaves it to somebody.
My dad almost bought one in the early 1980's for 2k and he decided it was too expensive and too much hassle for only a years ground rent at a time.
Would I buy one? No, I can anchor my boat in front of them for free, whenever I want 😂
