Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence is a serious issue that occurs when the ground beneath your home sinks, causing the foundations to shift. This can lead to significant structural problems, including:
- Cracks in walls, both internal and external
- Doors and windows that stick or do not close properly
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Gaps appearing between walls and floors or ceilings
These issues can worsen over time, leading to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Portsmouth, with its varied soil types and historic properties, is particularly susceptible to subsidence.

Portsmouth case studies that speak volumes
Our panel solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with subsidence claims, and their success stories highlight the importance of expert legal support.
A Battle of Stability
Imagine submitting a claim only for the insurer to drag their feet for six years, all while insisting your property merely needs a fresh coat of paint. This was the reality for one homeowner who, upon refusal to settle for less, partnered with our panel solicitors.
Through legal action and undeniable expert evidence, the homeowner saw justice as the insurer was compelled to pay over £200,000 for necessary demolition and reconstruction.
Root Barrier Resistance
Another homeowner faced acknowledgment of their subsidence issue by their insurer but was met with a cost-cutting solution—a root barrier.
Expert advice revealed the true necessity of underpinning, a stance the insurer refused to accept until legal proceedings forced their hand, resulting in a payout exceeding £300,000.
