Halifax has published findings on the locations home movers tend to be heading for and has found that many are heading towards the coast.

It seems city dwellers tend to only want to live in urban areas for a limited time, with the 10 areas to show the highest outflow of people being Birmingham and 9 parts of London. Coastal areas such as Cornwall are proving rather popular with many wanting to leave the stress of the city behind and enjoy a better quality of life by the sea.

There should be no real difference in obtaining a mortgage in a coastal town than anywhere else, and if you are considering heading to the coast, you might not need to sell you main home as a buy to let mortgage could enable you to keep both.

If you think that could interest you, contact an independent mortgage broker to see if you are eligable for the loan.
