Property valuation in Lilliput
A free Lilliput valuation built on what harbour-side buyers pay for: the view to Brownsea, water access, plot size, parking and the lease, with comparable Lilliput evidence in writing.
Property valuationLilliput is a small harbourside district between Lower Parkstone and Sandbanks, looking across Poole Harbour to Brownsea Island. Detached houses, some of them art deco from the late 1920s, and modern waterfront apartments sell to downsizers, sailors and families, and the few homes to rent let to tenants who want the harbour and Sandbanks close by.
Lilliput sits on the harbour shore between Lower Parkstone and Sandbanks: Evening Hill and its view to Brownsea Island, Salterns Marina below it, and a parade of shops on Sandbanks Road. It is a small, valuable market where the view, the plot and the parking decide the price. We sell and value homes here, let them to tenants and as furnished stays, and manage them for owners.
Renting in Lilliput
Homes to rent are few. Harbour-view flats let to couples and older tenants who want the water and the parade on foot; family houses let to households relocating to Poole or waiting on a rebuild, often furnished. A furnished home here can also let for 28 nights or more through the Flexiestays platform to sailors, relocations and families between homes: see long term lets in Lilliput. For a tenancy, letting agents in Lilliput explains how we find and reference a tenant.

Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Estate agents in Lilliput: questions
Where exactly is Lilliput?
On the Poole Harbour shore between Lower Parkstone and Sandbanks, in BH14. Sandbanks Road runs through it, with a parade of shops, and Evening Hill looks across the harbour to Brownsea Island. It is not part of Sandbanks, and listings and valuations should say so.
Who buys in Lilliput?
Downsizers moving into a harbour-view flat, sailors and yacht owners who want Salterns Marina and the clubs close by, families who want a large house with a garden near Sandbanks, and second-home buyers. Older houses on bigger plots also draw buyers who plan to rebuild.
Are there homes to rent in Lilliput?
A few, and they let quickly. The flats with harbour views let to couples and older tenants; the family houses to households relocating to Poole or between homes. Register with us and we tell you when something comes up, here or in neighbouring Parkstone and Canford Cliffs.
What adds value to a Lilliput home?
A harbour view from the main rooms, then parking and a garage, plot size, and on the shore any access to the water. For a flat, lease length, the service charge and whether the block has a lift. Art deco houses carry their own buyers. We value against Lilliput sales, not Poole averages.
Is Lilliput quiet in winter?
Yes. The marina, the parade and the primary school keep it lived in, but the watersports and sailing slow down from November. That suits residents and long-term tenants. Owners of furnished homes plan winter around longer stays rather than weekend breaks.
