Portland Sailing academy and Hamm beach

PORTLAND sailing academy! 

Talking a nice walk over the Chesil beach Road with my youngest son, I stopped to snap the sailing academy where the 2012 Olympics will be, with it's new backdrop too, you can if you look closely (right click image to open enlarged in new window) see the search and rescue helicopter coming to land.

The revamped block of flats dominate the area, there are two blocks, one finished, one not... the one still looking as it did on the left shows how drab they were, the updated one on the right, looking bright and new really does make that difference.

Portland property prices!

Just in the news recently Poole, Weymouth and Portland were said to be amongst the dearest places to buy a home.

Ouch.... for the younger generation who struggle to get on the property ladder it is a nightmare!

Dorset rocks though!
No wonder when it is this nice. :o)

With the sailing in 2012 coming right here on my doorstep it will only get worse for those hoping to buy.
For those who have a good place here it could be a goldmine coming up to 2012 for your house value...

Sell it?
Rent it out during games for high rate?

Want a place here?
Comment about it and get an inside opinion on the best to consider... ;o)
