Alternative homes took the top spot, with 37% looking to buy a caravan or lodge. 36% are looking for a house and 27% wanted a flat, showing more are looking into non-brick-and-mortar options due to the uncertainty of buying a property during Brexit.
Kate Watts, said: “Recently we have seen an increase in our holiday home enquiry figures and sales, suggesting Brits are investing their money in UK vacations.”
Of those looking to buy before Brexit, results showed 59% will opt for a coastal holiday home.
