Agents Note

Please note that the property was subject to a subsidence claim originally dating back to 2004. We are advised by the vendors that the claim was in relation to three new additions to the house, namely the single-storey kitchen, conservatory, and front porch. All three had ‘settled’ and were showing signs of stress where they were connected to the main house. We are advised the main house was unaffected. The original repair work was deemed to be sub-standard and the claim was re-opened in 2012 and the necessary work carried out. A certificate of Structural Adequacy was issued in 2013 stating the cause of the damage being due to root induced clay shrinkage. Mitigation measures were undertaken as well as superstructure repairs and redecoration.

Viewing Arrangements

Strictly by appointment with the Agents.
