Conservation area
Conservation area here: Crantock. Inside a conservation area, things like replacement windows and roof changes can need permission, which matters if you're planning work.

Flood risk (rivers and sea)
Only 0 of the 9 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 Crantock is class 6: an estimated 30% or more of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area. A three-month radon test is cheap, and fixes (often a sump or better underfloor ventilation) are well understood.

Mining and mundic
Cornwall's metal-mining history means conveyancers usually order a mining search, and concrete-block homes built before about 1950 may need a mundic test for a mortgage.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Crantock the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (100%). This is the 'killas' country of slate and shale; older homes are often rubble stone, sometimes slate-hung, and weathering of soft stone and mortar is common.

Ground stability
The BGS GeoSure 5 km hexagon covering Crantock shows moderate slope instability (landslides) potential. That's a broad screen, not a site assessment; look for cracking, sticking doors and leaning walls.

Coastal exposure
Being about 0.7 km from the coast, homes here take the weather; inspect pointing, render and roof fixings closely.
