Homecheck Mining & Subsidence Report

Picture
A desktop report designed to highlight any potential mining and subsidence hazards at a property. The presence of a hazard could mean that a property is at risk of structural damage from subsidence or heave. The report covers a wide range of hazards from man-made and natural sources as well as providing information on insurance claims caused by subsidence, thereby highlighting both the risk and actual impact of local ground conditions.

Key Features

Extensive Data
Front page summary
  • Now includes a front page summary of any hazards that have been identified in the report. Covers both man-made hazards as well as natural hazards: Former mining, former brine extraction and salt mining, landfill sites / other in filled land, natural ground instability hazards.
Includes Subsidence claims
  • We now, uniquely, include insurance claims from subsidence. These insurance claims could be evidence of the hazards that have been identified elsewhere in the report.
  Coal mining claims
  • We also now include details of successful Coal Mining Subsidence Damage Claims – these are claims that have been handled by the Coal Authority rather than going through an insurer.
  Professional Opinion
  • Now includes a plain English professional opinion for each type of hazard or insurance claims identified along with clear next steps. All of this is written so that it can be copied into client reports.
More report for the same price
  • All these improvements to the report have been done without an increase in price to the old Homecheck Ground Stability Report.
