Tin Mining
Tin Mining Search
A Mining Search is a concise report that assesses the likelihood of a property being affected by mining subsidence.
Where a property is in the south-west, including Cornwall and Devon, a tin mining search would be the recommended option from the Law Society and the Council of Mortgage Lenders for the conveyancing solicitors.
A Tin Mining report will reveal if a property sits in an area of historic, current or proposed mining activity, reveal the location and distance to the nearest recorded and suspected mine workings and indicate the presence of any significant geological features.
Each desktop report is created by experts with local knowledge who can interpret complex information clearly and accurately to the benefit of clients.
