Flood risk (rivers and sea)
0 of 13 postcodes checked are in Flood Zone 2 or 3, so most of Hartland sits outside the river and sea flood zones. Low-lying streets and surface water can still catch people out.

Radon
The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Hartland is class 2: an estimated 1 to 3% 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 Torridge. A pre-1950 concrete-block home here may need a mundic test.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Hartland the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (100%). Local stone is common in older houses, so pointing, chimney stacks and the tops of walls deserve a close look.
