Hello,
I'm currently looking at a property to buy and whilst I'm quite advanced in the purchase process, I have noticed a major crack where the central wall was originally located - between front and rear, ground floor rooms.
From my understanding, this wall was removed many years ago and I have no record as to when exactly.
There is a large crack/loose plaster in the corner of where the load bearing frame meets the supporting brickwork, inside the property. I presume there is a steel in there but who knows?!
Perhaps its normal settlement and because the plaster has come loose it looks worse than it is but what are peoples initial thoughts? There are no other visible signs of cracking etc.
I should also mention the property is mid-terrace.
