BUYING TO HOLIDAY LET IN WHITBY

WHITBY has some of the most expensive property on the Yorkshire coast but for those looking to invest in a holiday let, it can pay dividend.

The seaside town has a year round supply of holidaymakers and weekenders, who are attracted by its dramatic scenery, sandy beaches and its shops and restaurants.

One-bedroom flats start at £70,000, although at this price they often need modernisation. Jacksons Property Services has a one-bedroom apartment on Church Street that is an established let, sold fully furnished for £114,950: see www.jacksonspropertyservice. com.

Astin’s has a two-bedroom cottage off Church Street, for £129,950: www.astins.co.uk.
