Watch out for greenery, says Halifax insurance

There could be a recipe for damage around the foundations of their home if there are trees and shrubs nearby, a representative from Halifax insurance has claimed.

Neil Curling, senior claims manager at the organisation, suggested that the larger and closer the greenery is to a property, the more likely that something could be damaged.

He explained that such plants are not normally a problem when there is enough rainfall, but if the weather gets sufficiently warm and dry the ground can dry out and shrink.

"Tell tale signs of subsidence include cracks that begin at the corners of windows and doors can be seen from both sides of the wall and get wider from one end to the other," noted Mr Curling.

Last week, the Met Office predicted that there could be a fair amount of rain towards the latter half of June, with average rainfall of about 69.3 mm.
