Clifftop homes boasting breathtaking views are up for grabs in a coastal village for as little as £30k - but there's a big catch. At least three properties along the Marrams in Hemsby, Norfolk, are on the market for between £30k and £50k, however the buyer runs the risk that their home could fall into the sea. The bungalows are set along the fastest-eroding stretch of coastline in Europe, where severe storms can wash away 20 metres of beach overnight - but the estate agents' descriptions do not explicitly state they are at risk from coastal erosion. One property, now listed for £50k, has seen its guide price reduced by £10k this week, touted as perfect for those seeking 'a relaxed, coastal lifestyle'. Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE Government officials' projections suggest that many of the homes along the Marrams will be lost within the next 50 years. Properties on the Marrams are deemed to be the most vulnerable due to their close proximity to the beach. Potential buyers are advised to conduct 'their own due diligence with their solicitor and surveyor in regards to environmental changes in the area', as part of the property disclaimer. Yet, council officials have criticised estate agents for not making it clearer that the homes are at risk of being lost to the sea, urging them to 'have a moral duty.' Estate agents have defended their sales tactics, arguing that some buyers are aren't concerned about coastal erosion and view Hemsby as an affordable area. In July, a wooden chalet precariously perched on the cliff edge was sold for under £10,000. One two-bedroom bungalow, listed for £50k, is described as chain-free and 'offers stunning sea views and a relaxed, coastal lifestyle'. The detached property is listed as having an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room with a well-established garden and off-road parking. Another property, described by estate agents Minors & Brady as an 'ideal holiday residence', has sold subject to conditions for £30k and boasts 'direct access onto sandy beaches and dunes'. The two-bedroom white bungalow is touted as being in a 'prime elevated position' with a fitted kitchen and family bathroom. One cash-buy home is a two-bedroom chalet sold for £60k with two spacious bedrooms and offers 'the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and coastal living'. Natasha Hayes, executive director for places at Great Yarmouth Brough Council (GYBC) said: "Homes are still being sold now. It is awful for the people that are buying them. "We do not advise people to purchase these properties. Local estate agents should have a moral duty." Locals still residing along the eroding coastline said earlier this week that access was becoming more limited and some residents had to use their neighbour's gardens to get to their front doors. It is understood that some residents of Hemsby are not year-round homemakers but rather use the coast as their holiday homes. But long-term residents are facing having to leave their homes as the cliff edge erodes. Pascal Rose, 51, has registered herself homeless after she was told her house was at imminent risk. She told the BBC : "I was advised two weeks ago my home was in the red zone. I am taking everything left out of my property into a storage unit, to be prepared for demolition. I've got days. "It would be a case of myself just picking my dog up and my suitcase and going, but with nowhere to go." Great Yarmouth Borough Council stated that it is not legally possible for it to compensate homeowners at risk of erosion due to government policy. However, it says that through its partners at Coastal Partnership East, they continue to lobby Government for the rules to be changed. Sign up to our Manchester property newsletter here
