Buying & Selling Property with Subsidence
Selling property that has subsidence issues can negatively impact value. In instances, properties sold with subsidence issues are purchased at a lower price. When purchasing a property with subsidence issues, it is important to get a clear understanding of the scale of the problem
Buying and Selling Property with Structural Damage
Repairing the home prior to selling is the optimal solution for
acquiring the full market value of the property. This will also
increase the amount of potential buyers, as well as the likelihood
that they will be granted a mortgage on the property.
When purchasing a property with subsidence issues, it is important
to get a clear understanding of the scale of the problem, and then
make a decision on whether it is financially viable to go ahead with
the purchase.
If you are considering purchasing a property with subsidence
problems, buyers can make use of the fact that Resin Injection
Technology offers a quick and efficient solution to the problem,
saving a huge amount of time and money.
Selling property with subsidence or structural damage
Addressing subsidence issues before placing a property on the market is often the most effective way to protect and maximise its value. By carrying out professional ground stabilisation and structural repair in advance, sellers can present their property with confidence, reduce buyer concerns, and significantly improve the chances of achieving a smoother and faster sale.
Repairing subsidence prior to listing can also widen the pool of potential buyers and help avoid complications during surveys, mortgage approvals, or conveyancing. Many lenders are cautious when subsidence is identified, so resolving the issue early helps prevent delays, renegotiations, or reduced offers later in the sales process.
Resin Injection Technology provides a fast, non-intrusive solution designed to stabilise foundations and restore ground integrity with minimal disruption to the property. Our efficient resin injection methods allow sellers to address structural concerns quickly, demonstrate that professional remedial work has been completed, and present clear documentation that supports buyer confidence and long-term property stability.
Selling property that previously had subsidence or structural issues
When selling selling a property that has been stabilised due to structural movement, there is a legal requirement to declare that work has been carried out.
This requirement related to the use of underpinning. Resin injection does not fall into this category and is not subject to the same laws. This in turn, makes the use of resin injection a far superior method of ground stabilisations due to the lack of legal requirements surrounding declarations and surveys when the time comes to sell.
As of 2021 however, a new law has come in to place, which states that the seller of the property has the option to declare to the buyer any work that has been carried out on the property that they may need to know. In this instance, it is the prerogative of the seller to decide if any previous work on subsidence should be shared.
When sharing information about work done to resolve subsidence, it is imperative that the customer contacts Resin Injection Technology to obtain a Certificate of Structural Adequacy and guarantee. This document is issued by a Chartered Engineer and it validates the work done on the property.
