Why does the ground in Devon matter for structural repairs?
Shrinkable clay is less common in Devon than in south-east England. Old metal-mine shafts and workings are recorded in places, so mining searches are routine for some properties. What you mostly find across Devon: cob and stone cottages, Victorian terraces in Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay, and post-war estates.
