Conservation areas
We can't show conservation areas for Brixton: South Hams hasn't published its boundaries to the national planning data platform. If you're planning work, check with the council first.

Flood risk (rivers and sea)
Only 0 of the 12 postcodes we checked have their centre in Flood Zone 2 or 3. That's rivers and sea only; surface water is mapped separately, so still check the address.

Radon
The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Brixton is class 5: an estimated 10 to 30% of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area. It's invisible and odourless, so the only way to know is a test; ask the seller, or budget for one after you move in.

Mundic
Mundic (decaying concrete made with mine waste) is mainly a Cornish issue, but lenders also ask about it in parts of Devon such as South Hams. A pre-1950 concrete-block home here may need a mundic test.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Brixton the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (54%) and old volcanic lava and tuff (46%). Older homes may be built of local stone; check pointing and wall-head weathering.
