Our suggestion for Silverton
About a fifth or more of Silverton's homes are pre-1919, so the right survey depends on the house. For a pre-1919, listed, extended or altered home, choose a Level 3. For a conventional home in reasonable condition, a Level 2 is usually enough.

29% of the housing stock in these neighbourhoods dates from before 1919 and 24% from before 1900. Expect solid walls rather than cavities, so damp diagnosis needs care: cement renders, plastic paints and raised ground levels trap moisture in walls that were designed to breathe.

Under most of Silverton the bedrock is interbedded sandstone and conglomerate (100%). Cob (earth walling) is a traditional Devon material; it needs to breathe and stay dry, so cement render, blocked gutters and raised paths are red flags.
