Expert view: AT RISK OF FURTHER CROWN HOLES
Both the crown holes were just several metres from this property (you can see the gate behind the car). After the first hole a report was created that seems to suggest that further surveys should be done. First Survey
NUMBER 4
Expert view: AT RISK OF FURTHER CROWN HOLES
Situated to the back and side of Number 3, Steven Longworth’s House is a stone’s throw from the first crown hole and possibly 25-30m from the second crown hole (which itself was around 10m wide). With Peter Brett stating they thought there were tunnels heading in all directions from the near swimming pool (by volume) size hole it must be a concern for the owner’s and their insurers.
NUMBER 5
Expert view: AT RISK OF FURTHER CROWN HOLES
Both Crown Holes occurred at number 5. It seems that it is not always clear if these events are covered by home insurance or not. If the house is not affected insurance does not allows cover the cost of remediation of crown holes meaning that the land owner can be left with a sizeable uninsured bill for repairs.
It is perhaps worth noting that this property sits are the bottom end of the road leading to Old Stocks Court. The water from the road collects into a soakaway just above the property (and chalk mines) and when this drainage overflows it does so at the entrance to this property’s driveway. There is now a crude overflow but this simply takes the water to the steep bank adjacent to the property and into the woodland next to the property where Peter Brett think there may have been more crown holes. Extracts from a freedom of information request that the Council have provided about the issues at Number 5 can be found here.
number 6
Expert view: AT RISK OF FURTHER CROWN HOLES
One of the few houses to change hands since the crown holes, Number 6 is attached to Number 5 and is one of the houses closest to the second larger crown hole.
It is understood that the crown hole was disclosed to the current Resident but that the insurers who provided cover for the property when it was purchased were not.
