Under a fairly extreme set of circumstances - my house could be on an island!!

[KatyMac]

My dad is buying a house - so he checked on the Dept of Env for the flood plain

We are in east Norfolk & if all the sea defences go down & the sea comes in I will be on an island

So I was wondering how that would affect my house price

house price will go through the roof, mate

depends..... will you have yur own jetty? coz you know, a waterfront property with jetty sounds kin d of expensive...

This is the north sea guys.....

I am guessing it will be an island maybe 25-30 sq miles (is that big?) with less of a channel to cross than the isle of white or Anglesea

how amny houses will be on this island? and is it pretty?

There are 360(ish) in my village

Maybe another 1000 or so (total guess)

a north sea island

bugger, that didn't work. Twas a pic of some very cold peeps

no picture?

Is it pretty - well it is a small Norfolk village near the Broads - I like it

what i mean is, will it be all houses? or will there be any 'island'
sheesh, i donno why im asking really, ive no sodding idea what your hous'll be worth!!

um... sorry for being crap... im sure it'll all be fine [soothing]

aw norfolk is pretty. you'll be right love, it'll prob be well sought after [no real idea]

Oh I see

So lots of fields - no parks or anything
A few battery chicken farms
No major industry - the few bits that there are will probably close

Occasional shops - Caister would be the biggest town/village

I'm not that worried tbh - but I thought it was indicative of global warming or sea levels rising

oh it is.
just bugger all you worrying about it is going to fix, so why do it?

Well as the government is going to (maybe) sacrifice a great lump of Norfolk to the sea - I thought MN should know

good grief are they? seems a bit off...

here

It seems a bit farfetched to me - but you never know

Thought I would go sailing today - to get in practise

Errrrr, your house is already on an island.....

Yes but not one that small

There's a kids book, i think it's called floodlands that describes just this scenario. In East Anglia I mean.

Really - I must see if I can get it out of the library
