Mining Searches

Mining activity has been carried out across the British Isles for centuries reaching a peak in the nineteenth century. The majority of mining activity has long since ceased.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders and the Law Society advise that mining searches should be considered in areas where historical mining activity has taken place. Our mining search reports are designed for land and property purchase, sale and development.

The reports are carried out with reference to the extensive mining archive held by Mining Searches UK in order to provide an assessment of mining risk to the subject property. The report includes a plan extract showing the property boundary and any mining features which may be considered as a risk to the property. Clear recommendations will be provided where it is considered that further action is required, such as visual inspection of the property and or physical site investigation.

The charge for a standard mining search is £45.00 + VAT. Large areas of land may incur additional charges which can be confirmed on application.

Typical turnaround time within (5) five working days. An expedited service is usually possible in order to meet a clients time constraints.
