London faces five heatwaves and drought risks
London is facing an unprecedented rise in land subsidence cases due to five consecutive heatwaves that have dried out the clay soil on which most buildings are constructed, putting properties at risk. Compensation claims for land subsidence damages reached record levels in the second quarter of the year, with an average payout of £20,000 per household, a 15% increase from the previous year. The trend of increasing land subsidence cases is expected to continue as the hot weather persists, particularly in upscale neighborhoods such as Westminster, Kensington, and Chelsea. Insurance payouts related to this issue have risen by 90% over the past four years, reaching £297 million.
