Marina View is a boutique development on Weymouth’s picturesque harbour. Each of the six luxury apartments has spectacular views, one or two parking spaces and a 10-year warranty. The development is built to a high specification and now has just four units remaining.
Comparable research from DOMVS shows that the apartments’ average price per square foot compares very favourably with other harbourside locations in the South West. Property on the market in Poole, Christchurch and Exmouth’s respective harbours command an average of £650 per square foot, while apartments in Marina View average approximately £450 per square foot, making them an attractive proposition for buy-to-let investors.
Polly Greenway, CEO of DOMVS comments: “The waterfront position is attractive to both homebuyers and investors, especially given their proximity to the town centre and excellent choice of restaurants on the quay. Apartments with such a fabulous outlook rarely come to the market and given the attractive price tag, we expect much interest. ”
Unusually, for a new build development, holiday lettings are permitted. Holiday homes located on the water are always in high demand and DOMVS anticipates rents of up to £2,000 per week in high season. The apartments would be just as popular on a long letting basis, with a monthly rental between £1,200 and £1,500 approximately per calendar month.
Polly continues “These apartments are a great opportunity for investors who want a secure return on their investment. The revitalisation and regeneration of Weymouth Harbour also indicates there is the potential for good capital gains in the long term.”
Proposed improvements to the peninsula of the harbour and the surrounding marina, including leisure and commercial developments, have been recently approved, according to Cllr Simon Gibson, who says there’s a commitment to spending the £19.5m in Government grants and £3.5m funding from the council.
