Your trusted partner in navigating the complexities of subsidence insurance claims in Leicester
If you’re a homeowner in Leicester and suspect that your property is suffering from subsidence, you’re not alone. Many homes in our historic city face this issue due to the underlying clay soil and changing weather patterns. We’re here to help you understand subsidence, assess the damage, and successfully claim the insurance you deserve.
Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building sinks, causing the foundation to become unstable. This can lead to severe structural damage, including:
- Cracks in walls and floors
- Doors and windows sticking or not closing properly
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Gaps appearing between walls and ceilings
In Leicester, subsidence is often caused by:
- Clay soil, which can shrink and expand with weather changes
- Tree roots absorbing moisture from the soil
- Water leaks from broken pipes

Leicester 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.
