Major Subsidence Claim for Apartment Block in Manchester

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.
