If some1 owns land on which their UK property is built how far down (subterranean depth)does ownership extend?

Answer 1

If you have struck oil or minerals on your land, then I have disappointing news for you. In the UK, all coal and petroleum belongs to the Crown. Thus, the Crown can take advantage of its status of original grantor of the land and retained mineral rights.

It is also possible for a private land owner, who owns the mineral rights, to sever these rights and to sell them as a separate estate in fee simple (i.e. capable of being sold or conveyed by will). So look carefully at the conveyance.

Answer 2

You have no mining rights but can legally construct a dwelling house up (or down) to a depth of 500 miles.
