Live the Weymouth life

Dreaming of a life filled with coastal charm, sparkling views and fresh sea air? Buying a new home in Weymouth could prove inspirational, and you could use the Help to Buy South West scheme to turn your dreams into reality. This government-backed incentive is available on houses in the area valued up to £349,000, and is one of a number of money-saving offers designed to help you with your purchase. 

Things to see and do in Weymouth

It should come as no surprise that the pull of the seaside takes top billing in Weymouth. The local bay is sheltered by the Isle of Portland, with the town’s beach perfect for lazy days in the sunshine. There are plenty of waterfront attractions to enjoy, while a stroll along the coast will take you to Weymouth Harbour, Nothe Fort and Sandsfoot Castle one way, and Bowleaze Cove the other. 

This is where you’ll find the exciting Fantasy Island amusement park, perfect for the kids but also great for older ages. From go-karting to mini-golf and outdoor pursuits at Osmington Bay Centre, you can also head further from town to explore the West Dorset Heritage Coast and the rest of the beautiful Dorset AONB. 

Education

There are a number of strong primary schools in and around Weymouth, including Holy Trinity CofE, St Augustine’s Catholic Primary and St John’s CofE. All of these schools are rated as good by Ofsted, while St Nicholas and St Laurence CofE just north of town is classed as outstanding. Local secondary options include Budmouth Academy Weymouth, All Saints’ Church of England Academy and Wey Valley Academy, while Weymouth College caters for students aged 16 and up. 

Weymouth transport links

Weymouth is a 10-minute drive south along the A354 from the A35, which you can use to get to Poole and Bournemouth in around 45 minutes, depending on traffic. The town has a train station off Ranelagh Road, with services to Poole taking 45 minutes and another 15 minutes on to Bournemouth. Weymouth is also the terminus of a route from London Waterloo, which takes just over three hours. 

The Weymouth property scene

Weymouth is a relatively affordable place to live within Dorset, with average prices around 20% lower than across the rest of the county. It’s also cheaper than buying a house in Bournemouth or Poole. You can still find affordable new homes in the Hamworthy area of Poole though, as well as wonderful new houses in Dorset spots like Swanage and Wimborne. 

Back in Weymouth, there’s everything from town centre flats to vast detached houses costing millions of pounds on the outskirts. Wherever you decide to buy your new home, don’t miss our Part Exchange scheme for a cost-effective, stress-free moving experience.
