Hainaut pitfall to avoid

Former mining grounds and subsidence.

The **Hainaut mining basin** (Charleroi, La Louvière, Boussu, Frameries) remains mapped as a hazard zone by the SPW mining-risk unit. On any plot in zone, require the official attestation and a G2 soil study including a geotechnical survey before deed of sale.
