Older, solid-walled homes
Around 36% of homes here are pre-1919. Older roofs, chimneys and timber floors are where repair bills hide, and breathable lime-based materials usually suit these walls better than cement.

Mining and mundic
Marazion lies inside the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. Expect your conveyancer to order a mining search, and if the home has pre-1950 concrete blocks, a mundic test may be a lender condition.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Marazion the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (100%). 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.

Coastal exposure
At roughly 0.7 km from the open sea, exposure matters: check render, chimneys, window seals and metalwork for salt and weather damage.
