Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in East Riding of Yorkshire
Low-lying land and flood risk
Much of the area is flat and low-lying, especially near the Humber, the River Hull and around Goole. We review the environmental search carefully and ask about flooding history and insurance.
Coastal erosion
The Holderness coast is one of the fastest-eroding coastlines in Europe. For cliff-top and coastal homes, we check erosion risk and explain what it means for mortgage, insurance and resale.
Rural homes and private drainage
Many village and farm homes use septic tanks or treatment plants. We check what is in place and whether it meets current rules, and raise questions with the seller before exchange.

Questions
Moving in East Riding of Yorkshire
No. We act for buyers and sellers across the East Riding from Newcastle by phone, email and online. Local searches come from East Riding of Yorkshire Council and other providers, wherever your solicitor is based. We deal with your agent, lender and the other side, and you sign electronically or by post.
It depends on the property. Some coastal homes face real erosion risk, which can affect mortgage availability, insurance and future value. We check the search results and any coastal information, and make sure you understand the risks. A survey and advice from your lender are also worth getting early.
