UK subsidence claims rise after record summer
UK insurers are experiencing a significant rise in subsidence claims following the hottest summer on record, with Hastings Direct reporting nearly a 140% increase in August. The surge is linked to the prolonged dry, hot weather that causes ground shrinkage, particularly affecting older homes in vulnerable areas such as London, Essex, Kent, and parts of eastern England. Insurers anticipate this trend will continue into autumn unless substantial rainfall helps restore soil moisture.
