Last winter, the dunes in Hemsby saw about 50% of the erosion predicted for the next 30 years, the council said, with more than 10m of land lost in over 12 months.
Since December 2025, 41 properties have also been demolished.
There is currently no compensation scheme for people who have lost homes to erosion, but there is a trial scheme that offers homeowners the ability to relocate.
Last year the Environment Agency gave £1.6m to Great Yarmouth Borough Council to enable the authority to buy planning rights from owners of properties at immediate risk of coastal erosion, which provided them with the financial means and legal planning permission to relocate.
James Bensly, a Great Yarmouth First councillor who represents East Flegg on the authority, said he “finds it very uncomfortable” to see properties advertised for sale when the “risk of them falling into the sea is so high”.
“However, I also appreciate the sellers’ point of view, and ultimately you cannot stop someone from putting a property on the market or another person from choosing to buy it,” he added.
He urged prospective buyers to do research before purchasing a property to ensure they are aware of any risks.
