TerraFirma Ground Report

The Terrafirma Ground Report is a best-in-class ground risks and liabilities report designed to enable Home Buyers to better identify, manage and resolve ground hazards.

 

The report identifies and interprets the risk to property from all man-made and natural ground hazards, providing you with all the information about potential exposure of the property to ground risk.

 

Man-made hazards related to the UK’s extensive and varied mining heritage can pose significant risk to property, with the potential to cause subsidence and in extreme cases, collapse.

 

As standard, Terrafirma’s Ground Report includes an official CON29M and integrated Mine Entry Interpretive Report where applicable, saving you approximately £150 when a Coal Mine Entry is identified within 20 metres of the property and speeding up the property transaction.

 

The UK’s history of mineral extraction goes far beyond coal, and the risk from historic mining and extraction of metalliferous minerals, limestone, chalk, gypsum, clay and brine, to name just a few, are also considered by the Ground Report, ensuring your potential exposure to all mining related risk is thoroughly assessed.

 

Importantly, the Ground Report also considers risk from natural hazards like clay-related subsidence, landslip, natural sinkholes, and radon exposure which all have the potential to expose you to physical property damage, emotional stress and financial loss.

 

The report now includes a property specific rosk assessment of coastal hazards answering questions relating to Coastal Erosion, flooding and sea-level rise. It considers sea defences and the Environment Agency's Shoreline Management Plan and impact of climate change.
