Well Im tossing and turning on giving a offer on a house that I believe I can get for a small discount on.. Needs a good make over inside..
During my inspection, I noticed along one of the lounges walls (external wall) the Cornice basically looked like the bottom half was deattaching itself from the wall. ie. Bottom part of it was lifting outwards to show a wide crack which is big enough to put a decent amount of your finger tips into. 8mm if I had to guess.
This ran for a good 2 metre length, within the middle of the wall. On the ends the Cornice looked normal. I didnt see any evidence of other cracking on this internal wall, however I forgot to check same wall externally from the outside.
There was one fine very straight hairline crack within the entrance hallway which borders the lounge, running just across the width of the ceiling within the hallway. Cornice wasnt affected here. But nearby there was a corner of the Cornice that showed hairline cracking right on the corner..
Would the above tha I've highlight be edivence of serious issues enough to walk away? or is just the cornice only lifting from the wall which needs to be removed and reglued.
I would expect cracking to be present on one or multiple walls/ceiling in the lounge if it was more serious issue I guess..
