  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations enable the owners of dwellings blighted by coal mining subsidence damage or the possibility of such damage to require the person responsible for remedying that damage to purchase the dwelling at its unblighted market value.\nThe Regulations also make provision for the payment of compensation to subsidence claimants who continue to reside in a dwelling affected by subsidence damage while repairs of a duration exceeding six months are being carried out. The compensation is set at 10 per cent. of the total cost of the repairs and is payable where the total cost of repairs exceeds £3,000. Provision is made for the payment of interest which by virtue of the Coal Mining Subsidence (Preventive Measures and Rates of Interest) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/2510) is payable at the rate for the time being prescribed under section 32 of the Land Compensation Act 1961 or, in relation to Scotland, section 40 of the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1963.",
