AGENTS NOTE: The property has been inspected by a firm of Structural Engineers who have found numerous cracking, horizonal and vertical of the internal walls together with some diagonal cracking due to the walls having been built directly off the slab. The engineer considers that the external main walls are generally in sound structural condition.
The engineer believes that the cracking has been caused by the settlement of the internal ground floor slab and specifically its subbase and that the ground floor slab is not reinforced and does not have adequate sub-base construction to it.
The engineer recommends that to refurbish the bungalow the internal walls and existing ground floor slab are removed and a new reinforced slab provided to support the new internal walls.
A copy of the report can be obtained from the selling estate agents.
