Flood risk (rivers and sea)

Radon
The 1 km radon map square at the centre of St Just 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
St Just lies inside the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. 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.

Ground and building stone
Under most of St Just the bedrock is granite (BGS class: felsic rock) (100%). Granite areas tend to have higher radon, and granite-built homes are tough but can suffer driven-rain penetration through joints.
