Quirky homes 'attract premium prices'
Unusual homes such as windmills and lighthouses can attract premium
prices, according to an expert.
Jessica Clark of Unique Home Stays stated that, despite tumbling
house prices across the country, the market for architecturally
unusual properties remains healthy, albeit with a small
turnover.
She said: "From our point of view, we haven't seen [a drop].
They've not been moving as much as much as other properties have.
They're pretty much the same across the board at the moment."
Ms Clark added that one of the reasons owners of these houses can
charge a premium is because the demand currently far outweighs
supply.
In addition, owners are usually more willing to wait until the
right buyer comes along with the right price.
Popular TV characters like windmill-residing detective Jonathan
Creek may be fuelling the growing demand for unusual homes in the
UK.
