Coal Mining Search by Postcode — Do You Need a CON29M?
Check the postcode against the Mining Remediation Authority development-risk screen. A flag helps you prepare questions about a former coalfield. It does not reveal every mine entry, prove a house is safe, or decide which legal searches your lender requires.
This check runs on screen, no signup. The full property report is £9.99 Lite / £24.99 Complete — one report, one price, no subscription.
Three documents that should not be confused
| Check | Purpose |
|---|---|
| This free postcode screen | Read a development-risk layer before discussing the property. |
| CON29M | A property-specific conveyancing search ordered separately. |
| Coal Mining Risk Assessment | An assessment for development where required. |
The Mining Remediation Authority publishes guidance and data. Its development guidance explains why a CON29M is not a substitute for a Coal Mining Risk Assessment.
Questions before you commit
- What does the official property search say, and which further enquiries does your conveyancer recommend?
- Are there recorded repairs, investigations or documents the surveyor should see?
- What checks will proposed extensions or other building work require?
Browse coalfield outcodes and run the separate natural ground-stability check. Complete (£24.99) combines the available coalfield screen with other official-source records; it does not supply a CON29M. Choose the address for your report.
