Sometimes we can arrange a search by an agent at a lower fee. The local water company, has taken back responsibility for replying to enquiries relating to their services. For many properties it is also necessary to carry out a coal mining search. This search tells us whether or not, for example, further coal mining is expected near the property, and whether there is a record of coal mining activity in the area. One last reminder.
All searches are limited in what they reveal.
If there is some particular aspect of the property about which you are concerned you must tell us. It is better the earlier you tell us, but tell us any time. We will not be able to undertake the searches until this has been received. In recent times, our governments have at last complied with European Directives to make available to us all information about thehistory of our land. When new houses are built, this must often take place on land which has formerly used for industry.
