I am considering the purchase of a house built in 1935. House has lots
of character, beautiful hardwood floors and fireplace. Here is the
catch, 2 previous sales have fallen through because each home inspector
has said "it cannot be fixed" The back corner of the house has sunk 8"
according to reports. This can be seen inside with a rise in the floor,
and on the outside with a diagonal line of bricks that have seperated
about a cm. I have photos- I need someone's opinion: can this be saved?

It would not be a problem to fix it, other than the cost of the
repair. What they are telling you is that the cost of the
house plus the repair is more than the value of the house in
the open market. Put another way, you would be financially
ahead to level the house and start over. I'd rather see you
start over without this problem to begin with.
