Hi all,
I recently went to inspect some properties in Horsham but noticed quite a few of them have cracks on the walls etc.
The RE agents mentioned that horsham has very reactive soil hence when the land moves the walls crack, which is why the properties are built on high foundation so they can keep jacking it up as land compresses.
I will obviously do building inspection and find structural engineer if need be, but was just wanting to see if anyone has come across this before and if the RE agents are just spinning bulldust?
Some of the properties have quite serious cracks, so should I even waste my time and money with them doing building inspections?
thanks in advance
