Groundsure Cheshire Salt Commercial
Groundsure Cheshire Salt
The Groundsure Cheshire Salt Search is a specialist mining risk report designed for property transactions within the Cheshire Brine Compensation District. Using authoritative data from the Cheshire Brine Subsidence Compensation Board (CBSCB), it identifies whether a property is at risk of subsidence due to historic or current brine extraction.
The report also confirms eligibility for compensation under the 1952 and 1964 Acts and flags any commuted claims. Required by the Law Society in this region, it provides essential peace of mind for buyers, developers, and lenders.
