Attualmente nel mercato per una casa. Il problema è che molte case sono state costruite tempo fa. E per me è difficile dire se abbiano problemi strutturali oppure no.
Ad esempio, recentemente ho visitato una casa degli anni ’60 che presentava una crepa all’angolo dell’ingresso principale. E un seminterrato un po’ squallido ma niente di estremo. Non si poteva vedere molto altro, almeno durante una visita di 20 minuti.
Può trattarsi di un problema strutturale importante o meno, e come saperlo, essere informati in caso di case più vecchie?
Non posso pagare 2-300 euro ogni volta che visito una casa perché un esperto dia un parere vago.

Do you mean “case in point” ? 🙃
This is the outer brick i mean after 60yrs thats not bad and the least of you worries.
1. Asbestos
2. Risk of flooding in the area
3. Water intrusion in the walls or basement
4. Noise any bars, Vacation houses, busy roads, airports nearby. I had to move due to a vacation house nearby before, be warned.
5. Inner wall integrity depending on if you plan on renovating heavily
6. Electricity conformity dont always believe the attests go look at how it is managed today
7. Pass by a couple of times at night, random moments. Do you see yourself driving up there every day of your life. Ask the neighbours about the neighbourhood. Any bakeries, frituren in the area minor things with a big impact.
Structural issues are very difficult to properly diagnose without being an expert in the matter.
But this day and age, alot of information is freely available and online, bit of a deep search should give you at least an idea of the basics.
Like….
Diagonal cracks indicate sinking foundations.
Vertical cracks could mean sinking foundations and/or not or badly bonded masonry (specially near corners.
Horizontal cracks usually mean difference in expansion/contraction, like where concrete floor plate/flat roof meating brickwork.
If the cracks are not everywhere and they are smaller then 5 mm, then it’s not so much an issue.
The first issue is the roof and whether or not is has asbestos. This will jack up the renovation price a lot.
Mold is another big no. A small spot, no panic. Huge areas and its a problem ignored a long time ago.
What types of heating is there in use and what is the state of the installation. Plumbing and electrical circuits that are old depends on how well the installation was done.
Location is always key. How quite is the surrounding, how many neighbours, privacy, etc. A house is what you buy, a home is what you make it ofc.
Vertical or diagonal cracks are usually less serious. Horizontal or stair-step cracks in brickwork can indicate structural movement.
I would look for as less basement as possible. Ideally no basement at all.
I was on market recently and never seen any properly done basement insulation.
