if a property you're looking to buy is in an area where there's known to be either current or historic mine works, it's worth considering getting an additional Coal and Brine Mining  Search and if you're buying with a mortgage, your lender might well insist on it. These reports, as their name implies state findings which might affect the property - or indeed they might state that there isn't any of these – and a recent such report, bought for a property in Finsbury Close, Dinnington, Sheffield S25 3RZ flagged up that past underground coal mining activity had occurred – although this should not currently be causing ground movement – and future coal mining activity was possible because coal reserves are known to exist in that area. So this report can provide reassurance to a buyer and their conveyancing solicitor, but it might also prompt further enquiries and even encourage a buyer not to continue with the purchase.	As a parishioner you can actually face a claim from your local parish church for chancel repair, which is where the local church, due to ancient statutes, can claim on parishioners to share the costs of making repairs or refurbishments to the church chancel/church roof and where these occur, they 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 White Park Place, Retford DN22 7ZB, in the locale of Worksop. This policy generally costs around £20 to buy and normally covers the policy holder for claims to the limit of £1 million. One other approach is to get a Chancel Search, which reveals if the property you're looking to buy is in a parish where your local church can make such a legitimate claim on you.	The Environmental Search is excellent for reporting on environmental issues which might either affect your enjoyment of a property you're thinking of buying or even threaten it and additionally might affect whether you can get insurance or the level of premium you might be expected to pay. A recent such search bought for a property in Nelson Street, Retford, DN22 6LP revealed that there was not only a risk of flooding within 50m of the property but also that the dwelling was within 4km of a well used for energy exploration or extraction and further, an area licensed for onshore energy exploration and production and finally that the home was within 4km of existing or proposed wind farms or wind turbines.
