The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Mount Hawke is class 6: an estimated 30% or more of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area.

Mining and mundic
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 Mount Hawke the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (100%). This is the 'killas' country of slate and shale; older homes are often rubble stone, sometimes slate-hung, and weathering of soft stone and mortar is common.

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