520			_aIn recent years the problems of subsidence have increased causing the loss of billions of pounds by the insurance industry and causing a substantial drop in residential capital values and increasing litigation against surveyors affected and distress to homeowners. This article investigates these problems and their implications for domestic buildings. It addresses the these questions - what are the main causes of land subsidence? what is the potential damage of subsidence? how can the damage of subsidence be prevented and reduced? what are the financial and legal implications for all those involved. Finally looks at what future actions should be taken by the insurance industry. References.
