Mining Reports
Coal mining searches are considered by property professionals as vital for anyone buying property in any coal mining area in Britain.
A Coal Authority mining report identifies the environmental and stability risk arising from any past, current and future underground and surface coal mining activity that affects a property. This includes subsidence claims, reported hazards and mine gas emissions.
From 21st October 2006 all Coal Authority mining reports in England and Wales also include information from the Cheshire Brine Subsidence Compensation Board (CBSCB) identifying if the property has been the subject of a claim for subsidence damage caused by brine extraction.
Coal Authority mining reports are fully endorsed by the Law Society of England & Wales, and the Law Society of Scotland, and answer all the enquiries that are necessary to be made in order to fulfil the due diligence requirements of the Law Society’s CON29M 2006 edition search scheme (ScotForm 2006 in Scotland).
