House built in 2000, Landmark Search identified Ground Stability risk ; what level of survey?

Tiggy777

Hi all
Would really appreciate any help or advice on this please.
In the process of buying a house in Fareham.
All way going well until I received the environmental searches (from Landmark Information group) which highlighted a ground stability issue detailed on the map as a : man-made issue covering about 6 roads...and then on a more detailed plan it shown as a 'Unknown Filled Ground (Pit, quarry etc)
The solicitor has simply suggested I get a survey done but I confused about if I go for a house buyers survey which will go more into the condition of the house or is there a more focused survey which looks at the ground/history etc.  Don't want to spent £1500 on a level 3 survey it that spend 90% reporting about the internal house and nothing about the ground and what's beneath it.
I am presuming people in the same road or neighbouring 500 metres had the same issues when they purchased their houses.
I just seem to be going around and around in cycles in my head at the moment.
Would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions please.
Thank you for any help and your time reading this.
Regards
Tiggy

Check the planning papers for the original development. That should give you more information on what ground investigations were done at the time and how they influenced the construction method. 

All you've paid for so far is someone to say "woah, looks like a scary thing on this old map", and tell you absolutely nothing about what's happened since then.

Have any of the nearby properties recently changed hands? If so ask the new occupants, would you be able to get a mortgage on said property?

Check how expensive building insurance will be, by doing some quotes. No point pursuing further if you can’t insure or it would be too expensive.
