NO, and I don't think it's consistent with anything being dropped on them as it's a line across several ceramic tiles, not straight, but almost. I don't know when the tiles were laid, but as the previous owner died in February I guess the floor was stable.
I had a home buyers survey, but not a full structural.
This transaction seems blighted. I'm already more than a grand in and we're still no closer than we were in April. It's a probate sale. The vendor's solicitor took eight months to obtain probate (yesterday) and there's a mistake that means it has to go back to the probate office (eight weeks!). It looks like no-one's been tending the place and the gardens are jungles. I'm supposed to be getting a report on the central heating and have it serviced (at vendor's cost).
The place is still full of some very nice furniture and furnishings. My family would've been in there to grab the good stuff months ago, I've numerous young family members that are setting up home and would be glad of stuff.
