Commons Registration Search?

A search with the County Council to determine whether any of the property you are purchasing is actually common land and is therefore subject to use by others. It will also show whether the property has rights of grazing over any pieces of common land in the area.

If it is so registered, the search result will also show whether the land is subject to rights of common, claimed ownership registration and registration under the Land Registration Acts.

Coal Mining Searches

In certain areas, it is also necessary to carry out a coal mining search. This search tells us whether or not, for example, further coal mining is expected near the property, and whether there is a record of coal mining activity in the area.

Coal mining may affect a property due to subsidence, although 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. A house may have been built over or near to old coal mineshafts and opencast mining can have an environmental impact.

The Benefits of a Coal Mining Search

Coal mining searches are considered by property professionals as vital for anyone buying property in any coal mining area in Britain. The Coal Authority holds and maintains the national coal mining database and our Mining Reports Service provides a fast, accurate, property-specific and cost-effective coal mining search service for any property in Scotland, England and Wales.

A coal mining report enables you to determine whether a property has been subject to a coal mining related subsidence damage notice or claim since 1984.

The report provides information on :-

• Current opencast coal mining operations
• Past, present and future underground coal mining
• Shafts and adits
• Surface geology
• Past, present and future opencast coal mining subsidence
