如题,房子是193几年的,求问各位大神,level3是不是就直接不要买了呢,我们见不到surveyor,所以也没法当面问这个问题到底多严重
这是我的report,谢谢大家集思广益
我主要担心main wall的问题,这个是2
There is some cracking and bowing on the walls of the property. There is also some cracking/differential movement between the front bay structure and the main wall and between the sun room extension and the main wall. We believe this is the result of settlement, the alterations and the fitment of replacement windows
Several lintels have dropped. The masonry overhead has also cracked and the mortar pointing to the masonry is also worn. Several bricks around the property are crumbling and spalling. The mortar pointing in several places has also failed and fallen away. The render finish on the front of the property is hollow and loose, has cracked and has fallen away in several places.
A few of the hanging wall tiles have cracked.
High damp meter readings were obtained on the internal wall between the kitchen and the rear reception and a more detailed inspection should be undertaken prior to exchange of the whole property as much of the property was inaccessible.
You should ask a contractor to inspect and quote for the work needed before exchange of contracts.
The property is located close to a former coal mining area. As there is evidence of old structural movement, drainage may well be faulty.
The subsoil in the area is of a shrinkable nature which can cause foundation movement. The risk is increased if drainage is defective and when prolonged dry spells of weather occur. As movement has occurred in the past, the drainage may well be faulty.
There are trees close to the property which could also affect the foundations, the underground drains and possibly other services.
Where windows and doors have been replaced we are unable to determine if adequate provision has been made to support the structure above. The bay windows have been replaced. Whilst no signs of significant failure were found, adequate reinforcement should have been incorporated to support the original structure.
With properties of this age, window and door frames often hold up the masonry above, unlike modern construction where supporting lintels are used. Therefore, should windows or doors be replaced, additional support may well be required.
Ground levels should be adjusted to provide 150mm of clearance to the damp proof course in all areas.
electricity 是3
The electrical installation appears satisfactory with no obvious visual defects but
much is hidden from view.
As such systems require specialist knowledge, we cannot comment on its
serviceability or safety.
heating是3
Central heating and hot water is provided by a gas boiler which is located in the
kitchen.
The heating was not on when we inspected.
No obvious defects were seen but we have only carried out a visual inspection of
the system and therefore cannot comment in detail on its working condition.
A number of items, were noted including for example the following:-
The boiler is old and may be in disrepair.
The central heating pipes are old.
Several radiators are old.
Reddrainage是3
The property is assumed to be connected to the public sewer.
Without extensive exposure work we cannot confirm the type or layout of the
underground rainwater drainage system.
As it was dry, we also cannot say whether the rainwater system is fully effective.
A number of items, were noted including for example the following:-
The inspection chamber in the front is deteriorating internally.
The soil and vent pipe (the main vertical drainage pipe) is corroded, has some
defective leaking joints and is open and unprotected and without a proper end
terminal or cage.
The waste pipes are poorly supported.
The hopper head is corroded
