Mining Searches
A Mining Search from Searches UK is an optional conveyancing search designed to find out if there are any past, present or future mining activities in the vicinity of your client’s new property.
We recommend that properties located in Wales, Cheshire, Cornwall, Bath or the West Midlands, in particular, receive one of our Mining Searches, as these areas are renowned for their past involvement in the mining industry. However, there are many areas around the whole of the country that, whilst not well known for having been mined, could have potential risks and require further investigation
