Hello,

we are interested in buying a home.
In our city, we have come across an interesting offer, but we still have a question about it.

The work generally makes a good impression, but one thing makes me suspicious. When I look under the roof, I see a retrofitted gable anchor (if that is really what it is called).

I wanted to ask you again why something like this is done and whether it is cause for concern.

Hi, so I have never seen gable anchors installed like that before..... The gable anchor is used to hold the gable and should be fixed at the height of the ceiling joist layer. I would have the construction I see in the pictures checked by a structural engineer. Regards
