Is there drainage or other underground ststem? Either that or a base for something that's no longer there. Looks like an older stucco house. Depending on age/era could be a lit of things. Not apparently structural though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This the advice I just gave my daughter and her bf they were just out bidder on a home they were trying to buy. Good luck @HighPitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anything about housing or construction or building, etc. However, I will be in the housing market very soon, if not sooner. Why is this a problem and what does it matter that it’s on public records? Also, what are the public records you’re talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never buy a house with foundation issues of any kind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expensive and who knows if the job was done right or if it will fail. this is a florida thing.... with sinkholes and such. Up north you dont have to be as concerned. its like buying a car that was in a bad accident. Sure its fixed and looks great but when you go to sell people will find it on carfax and not want to buy it. Move on to the other car that was never hit. the public records in this case was a permit search in the county. It was fixed in 2006. When i sell, by law i have to disclose. Nobody wants to hear”its a great house great neighbors but there was past foundation issues...” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
