Clifftop views are so attractive!

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

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

Always look at the EA flood maps before buying a property.

Note that the EA now have two sets of flood maps. To the map showing risk of flooding from rivers and other waterways, they've now added a map showing the risk of flooding from flash floods and surface run-off. It's impressively comprehensive, at least in my area.
