If you’re a homeowner in Nottingham experiencing the unsettling effects of subsidence, our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve from your insurance.
Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building sinks, causing the foundation to shift and potentially leading to structural damage. This can result in visible cracks in walls, doors and windows that stick, and uneven floors. In Nottingham, subsidence can be particularly prevalent due to the region’s clay soil, which is prone to shrinking and swelling with weather changes.
Signs of Subsidence
As a homeowner, it’s crucial to recognize the signs of subsidence early. Look out for:
- Cracks in walls, especially around doors and windows.
- Doors and windows that no longer close properly.
- Sloping or uneven floors.
- Gaps appearing between walls and ceilings or floors.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to take immediate action to prevent further damage to your property.

Nottingham 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.
