Bournemouth

Bournemouth is situated on the south coast of England and forms part of the borough of Bournemouth which is located in the county of Dorset.

With seven miles of sandy beaches and neighbouring the Jurassic areas of Lulworth and the historic locality of Christchurch has made Bournemouth one of the most sought after places in the UK to purchase  properties that include holiday flats, family homes and ultimately looking for commercial properties for sale for existing and would-be businesses.

The typical summer season in Bournemouth starts in mid-may and carries through to the end of September and for some into October. People from all over the world visit Bournemouth not just for its beautiful award winning beaches but its nightlife and entertainment.
