Sandbanks is one of the most valuable locations on earth, approaching £20M per acre, Sandbanks is known as 'Millionaires Row' and its only 100 minutes from London.
Sandbanks has been the domain of the seriously wealthy, with property prices soaring at an average of 33% per annum between 2001 and 2005 and continuing to do so with the Russian market now starting to take an interest, the dream of owning a property in this area will continue to elude the majority.
Sandbanks Life has introduced Fractional Ownership into the area for the first time, what undoubtedly would cost millions to purchase individually, can now be purchased for a fraction of the cost.
Subtidal sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time consist of sandy sediments that are permanently covered by shallow sea water, typically at depths of less than 20m below chart datum (but sometimes including channels or other areas greater than 20m deep).
These include geographical location (which influences water temperature), the relative exposure of the coast (from wave-exposed open coasts to tide-swept coasts or sheltered inlets and estuaries), the topographical structure of the habitat, and differences in the depth, turbidity and salinity of the surrounding water.
'Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time' is a habitat listed on Annex I of the EC Habitats Directive, qualifying as a feature for the selection of a Special Area of Conservation (SACs).
