Mining and mundic
Lanner lies inside the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. 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 Lanner the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (98%). Locally the slates and shales are called killas; rubble-stone and slate-hung walls are typical, and soft stone and old mortar weather over time.

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