a lot of you are aware on this forum that I am upping sticks and moving,
een to view a house today with an estate agent I know fairly well. Its a great house and the only thing that put me off was that upstairs at the back of the house the top of the wall has shifted out by about an inch at the top. Estate agent told me that the owners had a survey done (before they died :-( ) and had been quoted circa £2k for rectifying the issue.
I've done a trawl of the internet and it seems the solution is to 'triangulate' the roof i.e. tie it all together, so to me this seems fine, but should I be worried ?
Estate agent has also given me details of a surveyor to get it checked myself if I want
any advice appreciated, thanks
