Are Coastal Locations an Issue for Homes?

Many dream of living by the sea, but what are the deep and dark secrets of living next to the coast?

I'm your host Jason Ratcliffe, a Qualified Surveyor and the Home Health Expert.

My goal is to make sure you're equipped with all the knowledge you need to be safe and happy with your home. It doesn't matter if you're a homeowner, a renting tenant, or a landlord, my aim is the same - to help you get the best from your property.

In this episode, titled "Are Coastal Locations an Issue for Homes?", we explore the pros and cons of living by the coast. Jason has a great chat with Nina Young from Surveyors UK about the support available for individuals.

Plus, we answer a listener's question on a coastal property. And discus landlord obligations within our Tenant Top Tip section.

So, listen in as we explore how to create a healthier, safer home environment. Click play and let's get started!
