Hi,
I’m ready to complete my mortgage on Friday the 14th and the lender has asked for the coal mining report which states below ! Do you think they will still borrow to us on the report ?
1. Past underground coal mining
Is the property within the zone of likely physical influence on the surface of past underground coal workings? If yes, indicate the number of seams involved, their depth and approximate last date of working.
For the purpose of this enquiry zone of likely physical influence will be based on the principle of 0.7 times the depth of the working allowing for seam inclination.
The property is within an area where Coal has been mined below or within a zone of influence that includes the property. In total 2 seams have been worked, of these 0.00 percent are at shallow depths. 100.00 percent are at moderate depths and 0.00 percent are at considerable depths. This mining was last active in 1925.
The property is in an area where records indicate there is coal at or close to the surface. Although there is no record of this shallow coal having been worked it may have still have been worked at some time in the past. Please refer to informative
Informative
If this shallow coal has been worked it can represent an increased risk of subsidence.
Professional Opinion and Recommendations
If any damage is caused to the property by subsidence from past coal workings the owner of the property would normally be able to make a claim under the Coal Mining Subsidence Act 1991
If you are concerned about any of the issues raised here and wish to obtained further advice you will need to have a detailed investigation undertaken and a report prepared by a suitably qualified professional and follow any guidance given in that report.
A mining surveyor would be able to look into detailed records to say more precisely what, if any, risks are present.
A structural surveyor would be able to provide a report to identify any structural defects in the property enabling a benchmark and identifying any existing defects
PinPoint Coal Zone of Influence
Landmark Coal Reports use a bespoke methodology to determine the zone of influence that is unique to them and highly accurate. The average depths of underground workings within the Zone Of Influence are reported by indicating the percentage depths for shallow workings (those less than 30M or 50M where the seam is unusually thick), moderate (depth ranges from 30M to 500M) and considerable (workings deeper than 500M). A count of the number of seams worked and the last date of mining from these is also reported.
2. Present underground coal mining
The property is not in the likely zone of influence of any present underground coal workings.
Is the property within the zone of likely physical influence on the surface of present underground coal
