Coal reporting in Scotland

In Scotland this is a ‘Regulated’ search rather than ‘Official’. This is because the Law Society (of England and Wales) and their CON29M form and Guidance Notes do not apply in Scotland. If the property is located in Scotland you will still be able to order the CON29M product (for either Residential or Commercial transactions) and our team will generate the appropriate version for Scottish transactions.

The same 11 questions are answered in the Scottish version and the product is identical in terms of the in-depth information included. However, the Scottish version will not have the question text and numbered format (as licensed and requested by the Law Society) and the Cheshire brine alert is removed.

Key Features:

• Front page summary of the 11 question responses set out by the Law Society, with clear signposting to detailed information, answers and expert opinion

• Uses official data licensed from the Coal Authority, interpreted and analysed by our industry experts

• Connecting underground roadways included, where applicable

• Unique additional alert highlights the Cheshire Brine Compensation Area – where applicable

• Uses an OS MasterMap plan of the site and an additional coal mining risk map identifying hazards in relation to the property

• Supports your professional requirements and is accepted by all major UK lenders
