buildings insurance with old mining claim

Hi can anyone offer any advice?
Just about to sign contracts, the mining search revealled a previous claim for the property. Didn't worry me too much as it's in N. Nottingham and the area has been heavily mined so everyone has put a claim in at some point for a bit of new plaster etc...
Just been to see solictor and the approved amount of the claim back in 86 was for £5.5k:eek:
Including new bay to front of semi and strengthening foundation under, relaying most of the concrete driveway/ paving and replastering most of the inside.
Neither me nor the homebuyer surveyor can see signs of any on going movement, and the work is 20years old.
What is the likely implication on buildings insurance, will anyone offer us reasonable insurance or are we likely to get have major problems.
Thanks
