We specialise in helping Southampton homeowners navigate the complexities of subsidence-related insurance claims
Our dedicated team is here to provide you with expert advice and support every step of the way, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve for your property’s subsidence damage.
Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence is a serious issue that occurs when the ground beneath a property shifts or sinks, causing structural damage. Common signs of subsidence include:
- Cracks in walls, both inside and outside the property
- Doors and windows sticking or not closing properly
- Sloping floors
- Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors
In Southampton, subsidence can be particularly problematic due to the city’s diverse soil composition and historical land use. Properties built on clay or reclaimed land are especially vulnerable.

Southampton 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.
