Press Release Summary = Anyone living along Britain\'s coastline could be in danger
of losing their property.

Press Release Body = The National Trust has warned that it is \"incredibly hard\" to
predict patterns of coastline erosion but did say that \"we are definitely going to
get more\" if recent weather patterns continue.

\"It\'s more serious in some areas of the country than others in that some areas of
the country have softer coastlines - either sands, or gravels, or clays or muds,
rather than a harder coast like sandstone or granite,\" revealed Adrian Woodhall,
coast risk assessment manager at the National Trust.

\"The south-east is going to be eroded faster than the west and the north on just the
sheer nature of the coastline.\"

Properties which sit on the coastline are in danger of being destroyed or dropping
in value as a result of erosion.

Even though these buildings are often very desirable, many owners will be desperate
to make a quick property sale rather than sit on what is potentially a ticking time
bomb.

Mr Woodhall went on to hint that some owners may believe that their property is safe
but a disaster may be around the corner.

\"The trouble is that it\'s incredibly hard to predict what will happen. We know we\'ve
got a soft coastline, we know that sea level rises are getting higher, we know that
we\'re going to have more storm events in the future,\" he said.

\"This summer was a good indication - if we get more like this. we are definitely
going to get more erosion.\"

Fast property purchase expert Julian King says this is the last thing people with
waterside properties need to hear. \"With a sharp increase in repossessions, interest
rates due to increase a further quarter per cent, the prospect of flooding at the
forefront of the homeowners mind and a severe lack of buyers, the prospect of their
property falling off the map must be devastating.

\"The notion of owning your dream home by the water but fearing that it could be lost
to nature any day is of the utmost concern,\" says Mr King.

Julian King is a director of National Homebuyers, the UK\'s leading fast property
purchase firm, guaranteeing to make an offer on any property surveyed, assisting
homeowners who require a quick sale for whatever reason.
