| Comment | It varies by building, really, but when I was in the market there seemed to be a lot of places in the area between Queen Margaret Drive and Maryhill Rd that had subsidence problems - Botanic Crescent, Garrioch Rd, Clouston St and around there. Saw a place on Shakespeare St where the entire building had cracks in all the internal walls.
Woodlands/Woodside tends to have different issues where a lot of the buildings have been very badly maintained and are showing their age, damp, mould, vermin etc.
Generally use the home report as a guideline, but just bear in mind that most tenements are reaching the end of their design lives, and don't make the assumption many people do that they were built to last forever. Just check the general condition of the building and how well its been looked after, and get a survey if any concerns at all to avoid an expensive mistake. I would also recommend taking the factoring company into account in your decision, and the building insurance premium can be another indicator of issues. |
