Why Basildon Properties Are at Risk

Built as a new town on Thames estuary clay, Basildon properties often experience subsidence due to the shrinkable clay soils and the area's post-war construction methods.

Thames estuary London clay deposits are highly susceptible to seasonal shrink-swell cycles, particularly affecting properties built in the 1950s-1970s.
