    There's certainly been a big boom in coastal property prices in the last few years :)

    Trying to keep it simple...;)
  • Coastal properties will always be at a premium - we bought here 3 years ago luckily; I couldn't afford my house now, even in today's uncertain market!

    I don't think that coastal properties will always be at a premium. Global warming could cause a "flood" of sales in low lying areas when sea level rises.
    Nice to save.
  • :D Luckily we're not in a low lying area tho' Biff - we've got 400 foot cliffs here! Obviously there are problems on the east coast of Britain because many parts of it are rather flat and the sea is already reclaiming the low-lying land. Stick to big, rugged coastlines and I think we'll be safe for another few thousand years!
