Surveyors · Probus, Cornwall
Surveys for Probus buyers, with Probus's own numbers: house prices, building age, flood zones and radon.
Our suggestion for Probus
About a fifth or more of Probus's homes are pre-1919, so the right survey depends on the house. Pick Level 3 for anything pre-1919, listed or much altered; a Level 2 covers a standard post-war or modern house in fair condition.
£281,250 was the middle price of the 36 Probus homes sold in 2025; that's down 14% on 2024's £327,500.
| Type | Median |
|---|---|

Before-1919 homes make up 24% of the stock here. Solid-walled houses behave differently from modern ones; watch for hard cement pointing and modern coatings that hold moisture in, and treat any 'rising damp' diagnosis from a damp-proofing salesman with caution.

Historic England lists 13 buildings in and around Probus, including Church Of St Probus (Grade I). On a listed home, like-for-like repairs with traditional materials are the rule; your surveyor should flag anything that looks unconsented.

0 of 25 postcodes checked are in Flood Zone 2 or 3, so most of Probus sits outside the river and sea flood zones. Low-lying streets and surface water can still catch people out.

The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Probus is class 4: an estimated 5 to 10% of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area. Radon is a known issue in much of the South West; ask whether the home has been tested or has protection.

Cornwall's mines left shafts and workings that aren't all mapped, which is why a mining search comes as standard here; pre-1950 concrete homes also raise the mundic question.

Under most of Probus 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.

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