Protecting you from that sinking feeling

Everyone deserves to have peace of mind that their home is protected. But if your property has a history of subsidence, you may find that standard home insurers won’t cover you.

At Wesleyan Financial Services, we can find specialist subsidence insurance that’s tailored to your needs. We don’t discriminate against homes that have a history of subsidence or that have been underpinned as a result. You can get cover for issues caused by past events, including fractures and hairline cracks in your home’s structure.

We can also find you cover if you’re looking to safeguard against potential subsidence or sinking on your property. For example, if your neighbours’ homes have been affected or you live in a high-risk area.

Guide to subsidence insurance

Subsidence is a serious issue that no homeowner wants to experience. In this guide, we share:

  • How to identify subsidence
  • What causes subsidence
  • What to do if you have subsidence
  • The benefits of subsidence insurance over standard home insurance

How subsidence insurance protects you

At best, subsidence can cause minor structural issues to your home, like cracks in your walls and ceilings. At worst, it can cause serious damage to your property, making it unsafe to live in.

Insuring your home not only provides peace of mind for you and your family, but it helps ease the cost of any repairs or rebuilding.
