Holiday homes for under £150,000 Buying a holiday home during a recession may seem like an unaffordable luxury. But in reality many tourist hot spots have relatively low-cost property at the moment. It is just a case of knowing where to look and how to bargain. Many people who are selling their own older second homes would rather not sell if they cannot secure a decent price. Yet developers must shift stock, so they are open to offers, sometimes well below the asking price. The trick is to find the competitively priced places, then negotiate hard, in order to turn an unaffordable luxury into an irresistible bargain. Here are 10 holiday retreats with prices below £150,000 - and that's before you start driving down the prices. Picture: ALAMY
