Coal Mining

This report will provide information on past and current underground coal mining activity with details of any recorded old coal mineshafts and licences for future mining. Ultimately, this report will help you determine whether a property has been subject to a coal mining related subsidence damage notice or claim since 1984.

The report will also refer to any current opencast coal mining operations and whether the property was built over a worked-out opencast site.

Why perform a Coal Mining Search?
More essential in coal mining areas, this search will identify past or current activity which can have an affect on surface property including subsidence.

What if there is an affect to the property?
Under the 1991 Coal Mining Subsidence Act, owners of property damaged by coal mining may be entitled to remedies including repair or depreciation compensation payments.

This search usually takes 24 hours.
