how worried should I be?

Just phoned the solicitor today to see how our house purchase is going and was told that because the coal search mentioned a former opencast mine was near to the property they had contacted the seller's solicitor for a response, then this response would be sent to the mortgage lender to see if it was acceptable. This house is in the North East of England so there is quite a lot of mining about. The house is on a housing estate that was only built 4 years ago and I have not heard of any problems due to old mines. Surely they wouldn't build an estate on land with issues that would affect the likelihood of getting a mortgage?

So, to sum up, how worried should I be?
