The estate agent and conveyancing processes fail to reliably identify or disclose coastal erosion and landslide risks, leaving homebuyers without vital information. This is unacceptable given that clear risk data is already publicly available through tools such as National Coastal Erosion Risk Map (NCERM) and the Digital Shoreline Management Plan Explorer Tool.
