Coal Searches

Coal Searches form an important part of the conveyancing process when premises are being purchased within mining areas of the UK. Choosing Searches UK for your Coal Search guarantees you will be supplied with either a Private Coal Search or an Official Coal Authority Mining Reportwhich identifies the environmental and stability risk arising from any past, current and future underground and surface coal mining activity that could affect the property in question. This includes information on all mineshafts, previous subsidence claims plus any reported hazards and/or mine gas emissions that may affect the property.

Searches UK supplies Environmental Searches across all areas of the UK as either standalone Environmental Searches or as part of a combined pack of Searches.

What is a Coal Search?

A Coal Search will highlight whether or not the property in question is within an area that is likely to have been affected by past workings. If this is the case, then a Coal Search will also reveal when the mines in question were last worked and will also indicate whether ground movement caused by the mining activity should have now ceased. All mortgage lenders will expect a search to be carried out in order to satisfy CML requirements.
