The underrated UK seaside town so cheap people are snapping up homes for £20k
This part of the UK is becoming a popular place for Brits to buy a home and it's an affordable destination with lots to offer.
This pretty Yorkshire town is an affordable yet often overlooked destination in England.
Redcar, on the Yorkshire coast, is known for its low property prices, incredible landscapes and idyllic scenery.
The area is becoming increasingly popular for holidays due to everything Redcar has to offer at such a cheap price.
Redcar tempts buyers from outside the region with its tantalisingly low property prices, some as low as £20,000, reports Yorkshire Live.
According to Rightmove, the average house price in Redcar is £170,254.
Although dogged by a somewhat tarnished reputation due to its dilapidated town centre, these bargain property deals might be the catalyst needed for Redcar's economic turnaround.
The town is located an hour and 20 minutes away from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and is around the same distance from York.
Redcar beach is a popular destination to visit for tourists and locals alike. One visitor on Tripadvisor said: “Lovely quiet place to walk on the beach, plenty of it so it never seems crowded. I have been several times at different times of the year-not been disappointed so far.”
Another penned: “The beach is absolutely amazing and we had a wonderful time, very sandy and clean and the stretch goes on for miles. We had a wonderful evening stroll and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”
The town is known for its rich maritime heritage and its mix of historical sites and contemporary entertainment.
