Insurance Claims At ARC we have many years working within the insurance industry and, as consultants, directly for insurers. This has led to us being experienced in understanding the processes involved in dealing with insurance reinstatements for all major perils including subsidence, fire, flood and escape of water. Contrary to popular beliefs, insurers are there to help affected homeowners with empathy, providing indemnity appropriately to the level of cover under the policy. Insurers will often utilise experienced and knowledgeable suppliers in order to reach that objective. Unfortunately, sometimes due to exceptional circumstances and/or differing opinions, further support could be required. The policyholder is often allowed to instruct an independent building surveyor to act on their behalf to provide the necessary support and oversight of the reinstatements. Under the terms of the home policy, the fees (often worded as “professional fees”) forming part of the claim. At ARC, we differ from claims assessors, who will want to involve their own suppliers which can then lead to protracted discussions and the associated unnecessary delays. We fully understand the challenges that can be faced for both the homeowner and the insurer, and in acknowledgement, we would only work alongside the insurer and their appointed suppliers, ensuring both parties are fully supported throughout the period of reinstatement. We find working with the appointed adjuster, their preferred surveyor and/or their approved panel contractor often provides the most optimum route. Subsidence can take place when the ground beneath your property’s foundation moves down, leading to the structure to move. Have you noticed tapering cracks diagonal in appearance? Have they appeared suddenly whether internally or externally? If you are unsure or suspect your property is suffering from subsidence, the cause of the damage will need to be identified and a report provided. Should subsidence be confirmed, this report can then be forwarded to your insurers for their further review, with a view to accepting a valid claim, subject to an applicable excess. The cost of the report would usually form part of the claim. Your insurers can then take the lead who will appoint various specialists (adjusters, site investigation team, mitigation team etc) who will manage the claim ensuring your property is made safe from continuous movement, along with the appropriate repairs. We have over 25 years experience dealing with properties suffering from subsidence, we therefore have the knowledge to guide you on the process.

From the very first phone call to obtain a quote through to receiving my Homebuyer Report, the entire experience was seamless and genuinely impressive. The level of professionalism and care throughout stood out immediately. Communication was excellent at every stage, I was consistently kept informed, with clear updates that made the whole process feel transparent and well-managed.
The report itself was incredibly detailed, but also presented in a way that was clear, structured, and easy to understand; something that is often overlooked but makes a significant difference.
ARC Consultations came highly recommended, and having now experienced their service first-hand, I can confidently say that the reputation is fully deserved. Efficient, professional, and reassuring from start to finish, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them myself.
A genuinely first-class service and one very happy customer.

ARC Consultants were fantastic from the first phone call. Alaur is friendly, easy to talk to and really cares about his work. The price quoted for our Level 2 Homebuyers survey was really reasonable, and Alaur's manner instantly put us at ease as we knew we were in good hands.
We were able to raise any things we were particularly worried about and stay in touch with Alaur throughout.
What we did not expect was just how fantastic the survey was. The attention to detail was incredible, and Alaur spent a long time on the phone talking us through each item on the report, answering questions and giving us insight that we just could not have got elsewhere.
I would recommend Alaur to anyone and everyone looking for a home buying survey. Thank you so much!

The process of finding a surveyor to undertake our homebuyers survey was overwhelming! Luckily we came across Alaur at ARC Consultants Ltd. Alaur's communication from the start was excellent. The survey was carried promptly and we received an immediate call following the survey with immediate feedback. The full report followed promptly within days. We highly recommend Alaur.

Alaur was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout every step of the process. If I am honest, he was even more helpful than my solicitor. I truly appreciated his guidance and would highly recommend him.

I'd highly recommend Alaur. We instructed him for a RICS Level 2 Survey, and from start to finish he was fantastic to work with.
Extremely professional, organised, and responsive. He managed to carry out the survey earlier than scheduled, which was a great surprise.
His knowledge and attention to detail really stand out. The report itself was comprehensive and covered everything (and more). It’s clear he has many years of experience and genuinely takes pride in his work.
Communication was excellent throughout, via email, telephone, and a video call, where Alaur really took the time to walk me through everything in detail without rushing, which I really appreciated.
What made the biggest difference though, was how friendly and approachable Alaur was. He made it easy to ask candid questions and gave honest, knowledgeable advice without hesitation.
Overall, a brilliant service and absolutely worth the price!

Fantastic service from start to finish with Arc consultants. Alaur was a breath of fresh air, delivered on everything he said he would and even sooner than the agreed timescales. He was on hand to discuss and explain feedback from our homebuyers survey and was clear and honest at all times. The survey itself felt very thorough and comprehensive with clear descriptions and photographs of the property that clearly evidenced his report. The price we paid for the survey was also very competitive. I'd recommend Arc to anyone!

Alaur was very professional, and quick to respond in his replies. He was very transparent prior to instructing him advising me to research services and other quotes to compare against his services. He was very organised and fast in liaison with the vendor to complete survey. And produced an extensive report and spent quality time via phone talking me through it and best options, of how to action the changes needed. Also offering any further counsel if need to go through any of it again via teams call. Absolutely great service and very approachable. Thank you

Alaur was very helpful and efficient. Communication was first class and the price was very competitive. I found ARC through a comparison site and Alaur was the least pushy, independent and local all of which helped sway my decision. I have no hesitation in recommending ARC for a highly professional service.

Cannot recommend enough, extremely helpful and friendly . Very knowledgeable and does what he says he’s going to do and promptly.

I found ARC Consultants online after extensive research for their Homebuyer (Level 2) survey, and being a first-time buyer, I wasn't sure what to expect. I am so glad I chose them. Since I had no prior knowledge of the process, their support was invaluable.
Alaur at ARC Consultant got in touch just 1 day after my initial query. He walked me through the entire process in great detail and booked me in for their earliest slot two weeks later. I really appreciated that they followed up via email to ask if I had any specific concerns about the property beforehand.
On the day of the survey, I received a phone call immediately after completion (a Teams video call was also offered). Alaur went through all my concerns and explained the findings thoroughly. Day after, I received the full report—over 100 pages including detailed images.
As a first-time buyer, I found Alaur to be incredibly supportive and patient with my lack of experience. He didn't just list problems; he talked me through the findings and even gave me pointers on how to maintain the property once I move in. I had a lot of questions, and they answered every single one. I’m very satisfied and highly recommend ARC Consultants to everyone!
