Coal Mining
The Coal Mining reports which put your client’s needs first.
Around one third of properties in the UK are on the Coal Field. Coal Mining features can cause subsidence damage to a property and can also have a significant impact on its value and potential saleability.
New mine entries are being discovered each year, and in line with the Law Society guidance, it is expected that conveyancing solicitors obtain a CON29M search when advising on land or property transactions in Coal Mining areas to fully understand the risks and ensure that their clients are advised accordingly. In addition to this, where a mortgage is to be obtained to finance the purchase, the lender may require the solicitor to conduct a coal mining search, and in some cases provide the results, so a CON29M search is always advised.
FCI’s innovative range of Official CON29M searches combine expert risk interpretation with AA- rated Triple-Tier insurance protection.
Both reports include a robust manually assessed Mine Entry Interpretive Report (MEIR) and a specially tailored accessible report layout designed to offer all transactional stakeholders the context and guidance to make the very best use of the search, whether they be the conveyancing solicitor, the purchaser, vendor, surveyor, valuer or lender.
