Structural Movement - Please be aware that this property has structural movement. Our vendors instructed a surveyor to inspect the property and their findings are summarised as - 'The structural issues with the property at 4 Spring Path primarily relate to subsidence, causing noticeable movement and cracking in several areas. Movement is concentrated along the right side, affecting the front and rear elevations and the right flank wall, with the ground floor slab noticeably dropped, especially in the kitchen and hallway. Cracking and misalignment are present between the hallway and kitchen partitions, extending into the ceiling towards the living room. The likely causes include inadequate rainwater disposal and a potential leak in the foul drain on the right side, leading to soil softening and erosion under the foundations. The property’s 1960s construction means the foundations are shallower than modern standards, likely exacerbating subsidence effects. To mitigate further movement, soakaways and drain repairs are recommended, followed by a monitoring period before structural repairs. This condition limits marketability, as mortgage providers may be reluctant, making it more suitable for cash buyers.' A copy of the full report is available upon request.
