Mining Remediation Authority Supporting Legal Professionals with Comprehensive Coal Mining Reports Since 1994

Since 1994, the Coal Authority’s mining reports have been the cornerstone for legal professionals in Scotland, providing detailed, trusted and reliable reports. Our extensive database of coal mining information includes details for over 23,000 recorded mine entries, ensuring customers have access to the most comprehensive information available.

The Coal Authority’s CON29M report contains the most trusted source of information in the industry. As a government body we provide reliable, up-to-date insights into coal mining risks that could affect both residential and non-residential transactions. Used by property professionals, insurers and all major lenders across Scotland, our CON29M reports give the highest level of confidence for managing all coal mining related risks. 

If a mine entry is identified, we recommend our Mine Entry Interpretive Report. This is essential for anyone involved in property within coalfield areas. It provides a detailed risk assessment of historical coal mining activities, digitising both the building footprint and the wider property boundary for enhanced accuracy.

Potential risks like ground subsidence and mine entries will also be identified, offering precise information on mine shafts and adits within a 20 meter buffer from the property boundary. This empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions.
