Subsidence can cause significant structural damage to your property, leading to costly repairs and a great deal of stress. Our goal is to make the claims process as straightforward and stress-free as possible, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve from your insurance company.
Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building starts to sink or shift, causing the foundations to become unstable. This movement can lead to cracks in walls, uneven floors, and other serious structural problems. In Leeds, subsidence is often caused by:
- Clay Soil: Leeds has areas with clay-rich soil, which can shrink and expand with moisture changes, leading to foundation movement.
- Tree Roots: Trees and large shrubs can extract moisture from the soil, causing it to dry out and shrink.
- Water Damage: Leaking pipes or drains can wash away or soften the soil beneath your home.

Leeds 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.
