Hi just had a search environmental done and it all clear apart from as below. Is this fairly common or something to worry about?
Ground Stability: IDENTIFIED
What is the potential for natural ground instability in the area within 50m of the property? - Moderate
Comment: [FONT=Myriad Pro Light,Myriad Pro Light][FONT=Myriad Pro Light,Myriad Pro Light]The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. Active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. [/FONT][/FONT]
The house was built in 1982 and is in Luton, LU1 - Mid Terrace property
The issue is rated as moderate and is listed under Natural Factors,
Comes as No under Man Made Factors and negative for Coal affected Area.
