Major Subsidence Claim for Apartment Block in Manchester
The Client
Property Management Company
The Outcome
Structural Integrity Fully Restored
Case Overview
Securing structural repairs for a multi-unit residential complex affected by historic subsidence issues.
The Challenge
When cracks began appearing in a 20-unit apartment block, the management company was overwhelmed by the technical requirements of the claim. We coordinated with structural engineers and the insurer to ensure a comprehensive underpinning solution was fully funded.
Our Approach
Our structural specialists and loss assessors conducted a comprehensive site investigation to document all visible and latent damage. We then cross-referenced these findings with the client's insurance policy to identify often-overlooked coverage clauses that applied to their specific situation.
Final Results
By acting as a buffer between the policyholder and the insurer's loss adjuster, we ensured that the technical evidence was presented clearly and formidably. This led to a full and fair settlement that completely covered the restoration costs.
The Outcome
Following our intervention, the client received the full funding necessary to appoint their preferred contractors. The property was restored to its original condition (or better) without any out-of-pocket expenses beyond their standard policy excess.
