Scenario: The house I'm considering purchasing has an uneven kitchen (benches not level) and cracking across cornices and part of the ceiling, as the concrete piers under the house have subsided somewhat, with dry weather (clay soil) over a period of time. The piers have also been packed at some time, and the building inspector can't really say whether or not there will be further movement. He advises to either pack them further up to try and "even" the problem, or get the particular piers rebuilt on a new foundation base. Sounds expensive
The house is about 25 yrs old, is single level with a DLUG underneath and is brick with timber floors. See ad here:

Has anyone had experience with this sort of problem before? Would like to hear any possible solutions...
Thanks in advance
