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 Kingsbridge 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.
