Buying a 1910 house .. but discovered lots of large cracks and damp
I’ve had my offer accepted on a house , after doing a second viewing I noticed lots of cracks mainly running along skirting boards , door and window frames. There is also damp in places . There is a loft conversion ( no regulations ) agent said the seller has never had any . So it’s been marketed as a 2 bed plus loft space . I noticed a long vertical crack on the archway which leads to the staircase to the loft ( shown in photos ) I know old houses come with some problems but I’m stretched to limit on this and if it needs major repairs I won’t have any spare cash to get stuff fixed . I know to move forward I would need a level 3 survey done to put my mind at rest . Not sure if to go ahead or walk away .If this falls through it will be so deflating as I’ve been house hunting for 5 months at the same time I can’t take on what could be a money pit . Any advice out there would be appreciated.
