Using the word "subsiding/subsidence" will mean that you won't be able to get insurance until you have had a structural engineer's report
How is this the case when your insurance provider won't see the survey?

Failing to declare subsidence is likely to invalidate the insurance, there is bound to be a clause in there somewhere!
If I put in a structural report that a property is affected by subsidence, I also write that they should notify their insurers.
If a claim isn't made then maybe the insurers will never know about a report but that's insurance fraud....
I know less about the selling side of things but I know that once a claim has been made, it goes on a register which is checked during the searches.

A RICS survey is a general building survey which isn't carried out by a structural engineer.
