I'm pretty sure the Welsh and Cornish are not overly keen on English townies pushing up the prices of coastal properties. Bloody English foreigners.

The supply status quo changed when the Townies got involved, as did the prices. There was always buying and selling by the locals, prior to that.I bet the ones who sold them to "us" in the first place are, though
1) That's false.
2) Oh look - festive and UKMadMax, a couple of your fellow-travellers in truth-denial approve of you posting falsehoods.

I've just had a quick mooch on t'web, to see whether the above holds true.
Have a look, if you like.
Figures for "all houses", price rises for Jan 1995 to Feb 2019.
Random ones I input (places I've been recently / going to, as it happens. I haven't been to Cornwall since the 80's)....
Barmouth +275%
Walsall +302%
Mansfield +270%
Tenby +197%
Llandudno +372%
Lichfield +317%
Sutton Coldfield +296%
Prestatyn +191%
From that (very limited, I'll give you) sample, there doesn't appear to be a clear trend of anyone "pushing up the prices of coastal properties", any more than the price rises being on par with those elsewhere in the country.
At least not in Wales, anyway?
(Although I do note that St Ives has experienced an eye-watering rise of +679% over that period
. But then again, Bath has had a +547% rise, and Haywards Heath, similar).Alderley Edge (premier league area of choice; +693%
).
Coastal hotspots like Aberdovey, St Ives, Padstow, Newquay, Bude, have all seen an end to local folk being able to afford to buy locally, due to outside influence.
Look at Salcombe in Devon. I believe that is one of the highest.

Isn't that just a case of there being desirable places to live, rather than being coastal per se?
Also, isn't the lower rate of income growth in coastal areas a factor as well?
Ah, fair enough.
Perhaps it has the highest proportion of properties owned by incomers.
It looks like it started from a much higher level - or the immigration started earlier - so percentages may not be the best guide.

Yeah, but we were discussing rises.
Although a paltry +53% rise is cold comfort, when you're starting at £360k

Interestingly too, but Salcombe flats are £705k!!!!!!!
