What to look out for when buying in Threemilestone

Older, solid-walled homes

25% 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.

Listed buildings

Historic England lists 2 buildings in and around Threemilestone. Listed status affects windows, renders and repairs, so check what consent exists for work already done.

Flood risk (rivers and sea)

Only 0 of the 32 postcodes we checked have their centre in Flood Zone 2 or 3. That's rivers and sea only; surface water is mapped separately, so still check the address.

Radon

The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Threemilestone 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. Ask the seller for any radon test result, or test after you move in; remedies are usually straightforward.

Mining and mundic

Threemilestone lies inside the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. Two Cornish checks to expect: a mining search from your conveyancer, and, for concrete-block houses from before about 1950, a mundic screening test.

Ground and building stone

Under most of Threemilestone 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 Threemilestone shows moderate slope instability (landslides) potential. That's a broad screen, not a site assessment; look for cracking, sticking doors and leaning walls.
