What does this have to do with the property I want to buy, you may ask. Well, United Nations scientists are warning that the rapid changes that may be ahead of us could be of extreme risk to coastal property homeowners. With their predictions as to how, if change is to continue at this rapid speed, sea levels may continue to rise, this could mean an increase of up to 115cm in London, for example. As you can see, this may be set to put coastal properties in a real danger of regular flooding. 

 

In addition, as emissions continue to increase, this can lead to changes in the weather (as we have all been witness to) and an increase in rainfall which, in turn, will also result in increased flood risks. In contrast, this can also lead to drought and, in some extreme cases, even fires.
