Selling a House with Subsidence | Full Guide for Homeowners 🏚️💷
Are you struggling to sell a house with subsidence in Hull, Goole, Lincolnshire, or elsewhere in Yorkshire? You're not alone — and you're in the right place.
In this video, we discuss everything you need to know about selling a home suffering from subsidence, whether caused by tree roots, clay shrinkage, flooding, or poor foundations.
🏚️ What is subsidence, and what causes it?
We explain subsidence — a structural issue where the ground beneath a property begins to sink, dragging the foundations. This can cause significant cracks and damage. We talk about the leading causes, like:
▪️ Trees growing too close to the property
▪️ Clay soils drying out and shrinking
▪️ Water damage from leaking pipes or flooding
▪️ Shallow or poorly built foundations
▪️ Historical mining activity under the home
🔍 How to spot the signs of subsidence
Not all cracks are the same! We break down how to tell if cracks in your walls are signs of genuine subsidence, including things like:
▪️ Cracks widen at the top than at the bottom
▪️ Doors or windows that stick
▪️ Wallpaper wrinkling without signs of damp
▪️ Cracks near extensions or windows
💰 How much does it cost to fix subsidence?
We give an overview of the potential repair costs—from £10,000 to £50,000+—and explain the different repair methods, such as underpinning, piling, and mass-pour concrete. We also touch on the hassle involved, such as hiring structural engineers, getting building certifications, and the months it might take to get everything done.
🏡 Can you still sell a house with subsidence?
Yes — but it's not always easy. We explain your options, including:
▪️ Paying for repairs yourself and getting the home certified
▪️ Selling the home as-is, and what impact does this have on the price
▪️ Why selling to a cash buyer might be your best solution
We also discuss the emotional toll, especially if you're juggling repairs, negotiations, and unexpected costs. That's why, for many people, the cleanest and quickest route is to sell the house fast for cash. If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone.
