Record £500,000 price for beach home

A three-bedroom mobile home on the beach front in Abersoch on the Llyn Peninsula is up for sale at £500,000.

While one estate agent said the price tag must be a record high, they did not believe it would impact property prices because it is aimed at a unique buyer.

But Caernarfon MP Hywel Williams said the price was "symptomatic" of the pressure on the local housing market.

The vendors do not intend advertising the chalet as they say they have a waiting list of just under 100 people.

For their half-a-million pounds, the new owner will get sea views, steps down to the beach, French doors to a decked area, designer furniture and gadgets such as under-floor heating.
