Hello everyone,
we are currently in the process of purchasing an almost new house, 2 years old.
It has also been inspected by a building surveyor and was found to be in good condition.
We then went through the photos and noticed the following, see attachment.
From the given angle, the gap at the base appears uneven. It is the same on the other side as well.
Now, it is quite a distance to the house to inspect it more closely.
Beforehand, could this indicate any structural misalignment of the house, something to be concerned about?
Thank you!
PS: apart from the usual small cracks in the plaster, there are no settlement cracks or similar visible anywhere, neither inside nor outside.

I also think you should measure what is level. First, the paving parallel to the house, then again at a 90-degree angle to the house wall (does it slope away from the house?). And roughly at the base of the wall as well.

From the category "same old story," "Seglock" also asks this question in thread 140858 – again without mentioning any crossposting. Unfortunately, netiquette continues to decline.
