Structures built on these clay soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some types of this soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent, and if the enviroment is very dry, the home will settle. This can lead to costly structural problems. Your RICS Surveyor will report on signs of settlement. Ironically, clay is a perfect material for brick making.
