Radon
The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Tintagel is class 5: an estimated 10 to 30% of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area. A three-month radon test is cheap, and fixes (often a sump or better underfloor ventilation) are well understood.

Mining and mundic
Expect your conveyancer to order a mining search, and if the home has pre-1950 concrete blocks, a mundic test may be a lender condition.

Ground and building stone
Under most of Tintagel the bedrock is volcanic tuff (59%) and mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (41%). 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.

Coastal exposure
Being about 0.3 km from the coast, homes here take the weather; inspect pointing, render and roof fixings closely.
