A recent Environmental Search taken out for a property in Tamworth, in Barton Close, Amington B77 4EX, revealed several entries related to contaminated land in the vicinity, specifically concerning landfill and waste sites sited within 500 metres of the property and additionally filled ground (pit, quarry etc.) within 250 metres of the property which might cause potential contamination. This information can be material both in your choice of whether to proceed with a purchase and in terms of the possible need to carry out further research to get a better idea about whether there are any real contamination risks. |
Tamworth is in an area where previously there were extensive coal mining works. Sometimes these works, if located sufficiently near to properties, can cause problems regarding ground stability and even contamination. This is why your lender will sometimes insist on you taking out a Coal Mining Report. One such report, taken out for a property in Layton Close, Dosthill, Tamworth B77 1DU, revealed that that it was not within an area which could be affected by past underground mining, however, the presence of coal near the surface, the report advised, should be considered prior to any future development activities. Additionally, the Coal Authority advised that there might be future underground coal mining works instituted. |
A recent Local Authority search for a property in Eachelhurst Road, B76 1EP revealed that both planning permission and building control regulations had been correctly applied for, granted and signed off regarding a ground floor and first floor extension and loft conversion for the dwelling. If you were looking at buying such a property and found that it had been extended, this particular search would tell you if there was an absence of planning permission and compliance with building control regulations sign-off rules. This can cause considerable complications and might even make you pull out of the purchase, which underlines the importance of this particular conveyancing search and why, if you're buying using a mortgage, lenders insist on you getting one. |
