Clifftop views are so attractive!



Not if you are standing surveying your house on the foreshore 50 foot down

I would NEVER buy on a flood plain or cliff, don't care about the
wonderful views. To my mind I'd rather see fields and stuff than a
boring horizon and just water. (lived in Brighton for 4 years, not
impressed)

I like addresses that include Hill or High or something similar


Depends what the cliff is made of, though. My brother and sil have a
house on a clifftop in Guernsey. The views are absolutely stunning and
the cliff is made of good old solid granite and isn't going anywhere.
Otoh, the woman who bought a house - unseen! - on the edge of a cliff
near Babbacombe, Devon really did make a very huge and expensive
mistake. The previous owners must be giving thanks!
