it’s not inland it’s on the sea shoreInland Waterways ownership of foreshores is set out in legislation, so they could come looking to enforce that at any time. Your solicitor will likely be more familiar with the area and how likely that is.
Is there anyway where that’s published? To see if they still own that piece of land or has it got one of the 12 year rule things?

It would.If the wall had to be moved would the smaller plot change your decision to buy ? If not then let sleepy dogs lie.
Same applies, ownership is in state hands.Is there anyway where that’s published? To see if they still own that piece of land or has it got one of the 12 year rule things?

There doesn’t seem to be a way around it. Even if I did buy it now, I’d have trouble selling it on with this problem .Same applies, ownership is in state hands.
The only ways around it are to accept the risk and buy the property, or to move on and find somewhere else. You can't buy the shoreline, so there's always a risk the authorities might seek to have the wall removed, but your solicitor may well be right in saying the risk is low.There doesn’t seem to be a way around it.

Are you purchasing with a mortgage?our garden wall is outside the boundary line right beside the shore.
If it is that close to the shore line there may be risks of flooding/rising tides/erosion in years to come.
Then they are not coastal homes. Many insurance companies do provide a service for coastal homes.A lot of insurance companies have a clause that requires coastal homes to be 1km away from the sea.
I can only speak from personal experience and can assure you it is very much a coastal home.Then they are not coastal homes. Many insurance companies do provide a service for coastal homes.
