FREE Landmark Webinar – Mining & Subsidence – Understanding Ground Stability
Around 6.9 million – 1 in 5 properties – in the UK are at risk of subsidence with 20-25,000 subsidence claims made against insurers in an average year. Subsidence and heave can be caused by man-made factors (e.g. mining and infilled ground) as well as natural factors (e.g. landslides and sink holes). Different parts of the country will be more prone to these hazards than others. This one hour session will provide conveyancers with an overview of mining & subsidence risk and its causes, as well as considering liability, insurance and how delegates can advise their clients of the risks along with the steps to take in order to manage them.
