Mining and mundic
Two Cornish checks to expect: a mining search from your conveyancer, and, for concrete-block houses from before about 1950, a mundic screening test.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Flushing the bedrock is breccia (100%). Older homes are often built of local stone; check pointing, wall heads and chimney stacks.

Flushing is within about 0.4 km of the open coast. Salt air shortens the life of metal fixings, window frames and render, and wind-driven rain finds weak spots in walls.
