Hi guys, I'm in the midst of looking for a unit in a condominium. I'm concerned with some cracks that I found during viewing of the property. What do you guys think? hmm.gif

Looks like a separation between a concrete column/panel-wall and a partition brick wall.

Could be an easy our a complicated fix depending on a few factors, but not possible to tell from the photo. Is it new our a sub sale?

Get 2-3 contractors to quote you, then Yiu will know for sure is a small or big problem

Thanks for your reply. It is a sub sale and the condo is actually a 10 years old building. I also found similar crack in the other unit of the same condo, appearing at the same place (the wall outside bathroom).

There are some construction going on nearby, could it be a reason also? If the cracks are due to some serious problem(say structural defect), is the responsibility of fixing it solely ours?
