House surveys in East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull

The East Riding of Yorkshire and the city of Hull sit on low-lying land beside the Humber estuary and the North Sea, with the chalk Yorkshire Wolds rising to the west. Hull's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian brick terraces, including its distinctive terraces arranged at right angles to the main streets, while Beverley is a historic market town with Georgian and Victorian buildings. Bridlington and Hornsea are seaside towns, and Goole is an inland port. Common survey issues include flood risk across much of the area, coastal erosion along the Holderness coast, which is one of the fastest-eroding coastlines in Europe, clay soils and the condition of older brick terraces.
