Hello,

We're looking to put an offer on a house but there are cracks in the front elevation of the first floor and honestly I can't work out if tis a problem or not. If we proceed we know we need to get a structural engineer in, but before potentially wasting the sellers time with an offer that we may then retract, we're trying to just educate ourselves a little first. Is this crack a sign of a serious issue, or typical for a property of this age? Any insight appreciated.

Get a survey done before you decide to make an offer, if the seller refuses to allow this then walk away.
