Bought a house a couple of months ago. Been a wreck for a couple of weeks now as I keep finding things that you don't notice when you're viewing and there's an estate agent under your feet. I admit I suffer with anxiety. The latest thing I'm stressed about is my WALL! It's the party wall in the very long lounge. I noticed when hanging a picture up that the wall is not entirely even / straight. It wasn't massively noticeable at first, it has a dado rail so I also spotted it when I was glossing it. The wall kind of dips in a bit going across... say for example if you put your cheek on the end of the wall and looked down the rest of the room you'd notice it 'goes in' a bit. No cracks or anything. Yet!
I had a survey done and it was very helpful and detailed, this wasn't mentioned at all so either it's been overlooked or it's a non issue that wasn't even worth mentioning. I've made the mistake of googling and found the "bowed wall" and "structural movement" horror stories. Surveyor confirmed after I emailed him (a while ago, not about this) there's no evidence of risk of subsidence etc and no special reason why I shouldn't be able to sell at market value in the future etc.
A few people (loved ones, non experts) I've told have said I'm being ridiculous and no house is perfect etc.
But surely a bloody wall in a house should be straight to a naked eye?
