These Mining Reports contain information concerning past and current coal mining including the number of seams worked within an area surrounding the property that could affect the stability of the property, the likelihood of any future workings, If the property is situated within 200m of a currently working open cast coal mining site and much more.
Metalliferous Mining Reports
Metalliferous Mining Reports are essential if your purchasing a property in many areas of Cornwall and West Devon because during the nineteenth century both of these areas formed one of the most important mining districts in the world. Even though mining activity has now ceased, it has left many problems related to subsidence and soil contamination and this is why it is so important to have Metalliferous Mining Reports carried out on properties in Cornwall and West Devon.
Kaolin (China Clay) & Ball Clay Mining Reports
Kaolin also know as China Clay is a commercial clay and the value is based on the mineral’s whiteness and its fine, controllable particle size. Kaolin can be found in different parts of the UK and this is why it is so important to have a Kaolin Mining Report carried out on a property in a mining area. Ball Clay is a grained, highly plastic sedimentary clay which fire to a light or near white colour. They are used mainly in the manufacture of ceramic white ware and are valued for their key properties of plasticity, unfired strength and their light fired colour. The UK is a leading world producer and exporter of high quality ball clays and production peaked at over a million tonnes in the year 2000. Ball clay production is confined to the South West of England in the Bovey and Petrockstowe basins in Devon and the Wareham basin in Dorset which makes Ball Clay Mining Reports essential in these areas. Kaolin and Ball Clay Mining Reports are designed to reveal information that would not be available through examination of a properties deeds and are produced from the material accessible to the mining report provider who will endeavour to give as accurate information as possible.
Limestone Mining Reports
Limestone Mining Reports are designed to show you if a property might be affected by Limestone Mining activity. Limestone Mining Reports should be considered for properties in the West Midlands where Limestone mining was common until the 1930s but since then, mining activities have ceased however potential subsidence could still occur. NLIS offer Limestone Mining Reports which will either alert a buyers of a potential risk or give a buyer peace of mind when purchasing a property in a Limestone mining area.
