Hello everyone,

I looked at a house for purchase and noticed a relatively fresh-looking crack in the gable beam of the roof (see picture). The beam itself should be approximately 300x300 mm in cross-section. Without inspecting it, it is probably not easy to assess, but does this look like a necessary replacement or rather a repair? What could be the rough costs? Thank you for your answers.

A carpenter should take a look at that. Possibly repair.
