I placed a bid on a garden style condominium that is 2 floors. My
unit would be on the secondfloor. The living roomflooris a little
slanted. There is of course a unit below me.
Does anyone know what could possibly have happened. The condo was
built in 1984.
Is there something I should do? thankyou for any info.


How much and where is the slant? Off 1/2" one side to the other, or
sinking 3" in the middle? How, in relation to load-bearing walls?
Anotherfloorabove? Wood frame construction? Masonry walls?


I am going with an architect today (a friend) to look at the place.
There is another unit smaller one came on the market
today in the same complex asking for $20,000 more than what I paid
for. There's is 1080 sq ft 2 bedroom by 2 bath.
mine is 3 bedroom 2 bath and its 1380 sq ft. I don't know what to do
at this point. the home inspector saw this place and
said that there is a slant on top of the two stairs that go into the
loft. Thats it, nothing about the living room.
My friend will bring a leveler to look into the slant. regards Roger


That would be worderful if he could bring a leveler.

He'll probably just bring a level.

Good luck.- Hide quoted text -

It looks like the floor is OK. I will proceed to buy the condo. The
architect checked out the place with a level and it looks OK. Thanks
for you advise.
