Some locations in the vicinity of Nuneaton are in areas where coal has been previously mined might be affected adversely by these activities in terms of, for example, subsidence and contamination. If a property you're looking to buy is regarded as being in one of these areas and you're buying with a mortgage, your lender might well require you to buy a Coal Mining Report conveyancing search as well as the more usual conveyancing property searches. A recent such report was bought regarding a property in Buchan Close, Galley Common, Nuneaton CV10 9RR, and while it revealed that the dwelling was in a surface area that could be affected by mining in 4 seams of coal, it also stated reassuringly that any movement in the ground should have stopped, that no present underground mining was in the area, that there were no known mining entries within 20 metres of the property and that there were no future plans to mine coal or any known geological faults or weaknesses which might affect the property. |
Parish church claims on parishioners for chancel repair, where these occur, can be fairly costly, with individual households possibly being legally required to pay £1,000s. Buying a chancel repair indemnity insurance policy for a property you're looking to buy is an easy and efficient way of protecting yourself against this possible eventuality and among many others, one such policy was taken out for a property in New Road, Ash Green, CV7 9AS. This policy generally costs around £20 to buy and normally covers the policy holder for claims to the limit of £1 million. |
When you're looking to buy a property, you'll want to know that the previous owners have correctly applied for any relevant planning permission and/or have received appropriate clearance from Building Control from the local authority for any works carried out on the property which require either or both of these. The Local Authority Property Search lists these and is therefore invaluable to your conveyancing solicitor who can reconcile the material published in it against any other evidence. In the case of one such report, taken out for a property in Brownshill Green Road CV6 2DT, there were entries for a FENSA certificate (windows), the installation of a gas boiler, a cooker dwelling house ring and main/supplementary equipotential bonding for a new consumer unit (electrics). |
