Coal Mining Search

EmzJenks

Hello!
Part of my mortgage offer was a requirement to get a coal mining search done - has anyone had this before? And does anyone know how long a coal mining search takes to do? Desperately don't want it to hold things up too much, already nearly 7 weeks in...

We had to have one on the property we’re buying. Took 2 weeks to come back. Had no problems with it and it was requested along with our other searches

I think it does depend on what area you’re in though: where abouts are you?

Thanks for your reply. We already ordered the normal searches a few weeks back as the mortgage offer was taking so long, so it's an addition as the mortgage offer only came through last week so hope it doesn't take too long!

They're almost instant, there's only likely to be any delay if it's ordered via a third party. Shouldn't make a difference what the location is, they're all done by the Coal Authority from the same office.
