Surveyors · Stratton, Cornwall
RICS Level 2 and Level 3 surveys for homes in Stratton, Cornwall, with local data on age, flood, radon and listed buildings.
Our suggestion for Stratton
About a fifth or more of Stratton'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. 30% of 2025 sales here were new-builds; for a brand-new home, a snagging inspection may be more useful than either.
£316,000 was the middle price of the 46 Stratton homes sold in 2025; that's down 12% on 2024's £357,500.
| Type | Median |
|---|---|
| detached | £492,500 |
| semi-detached | £265,000 |
| terraced | £275,000 |

22% of the housing stock in these neighbourhoods dates from before 1919 and 20% 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.

Cornwall's metal-mining history means conveyancers usually order a mining search, and concrete-block homes built before about 1950 may need a mundic test for a mortgage.

Under most of Stratton 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.
