Going again through my recently acquired IP's Building report, I need some suggestions on certain areas.
The report says this about the Footings:
-The building is constructed on a combination of strip footings and piers.
- Evidence of minor subsidence was noted to the footings.
- There appears to have been some settlement in the building which has caused some cracking to the front foundation walls.
- This crack can be controlled and eliminated by installing some additional piers to the front section of the building.
Since, this is an old (50+ yo) house and the plan is to demolish and subdivide in the future, should I be concerned about the footing issue and get it fixed or leave it as it is?
