Hey all,
So my family is trying to buy a house, very big, and it's like nothing we have ever seen, like a manor house, of course there are a few downsides that need addressing i.e. a new sewage system needs installing, new roof etc - Property has been empty for a few years so it needs a lot of work done to it outside.
Now there is 2 acres of land with it, at two different levels. You have land that is the same level as the house, and then further away you have land that is 20ft - 30ft lower than the land above. Where these two seperate peices connect the land above is basically falling away from it's original place because the wall that used to "hold" the land above was old and has broken away so nothing has been there to support all the soil.
The tennis court is basically a half tennis court now because the land has sunk, and bad thing is, the swimming pool is right next to the sinking land, 10ft away from it. So not good at all from my point of view anyway.
Now what my Dad has said is all you need to do is get someone to inject the land above with "something" and then build a new huge wall (with foundation) where the old one used to be and fill in the gaps to support it all.
I don't know, but to me, it just doesnt sound right at all, sounds too easy for my liking, but I've never heard or seen anything like this before.
So who do we approach for something like this? Is there a "top" company for something like this? Or can we just use a builder and some scaffolding to do the job? - And does anyone on the forums know anything about this i.e. price wise.
Of course, if someone states something on here I will always ask expert advice externally, but it would be interesting to hear someone elses take on it if they know anything regarding something like this!.
TIA
