Hello everyone! I hope I am in the right topic area!
Is it possible that (poorly processed screed) remains inconspicuous for 8 years, only to partially sink more than 2 cm in the following 18 years?
About a year ago, I bought an apartment (built in 1991), actually in good condition. Now the tenant has moved out; she had the apartment extremely cluttered. Depressions of the screed of sometimes more than 2 cm appeared in all rooms. The kitchen looks like a marble run – with the built-in cabinets above it was not visible. Apparently, the screed was poured into the middle of the room and then quickly moved on to the next apartment.
The tenant lived in the apartment for 18 years and does not remember it being like this when she moved in. Back then, the apartment was 8 years old. But the tenant also made some special modifications. Let’s just say, it’s not certain that she remembers everything.
The sunken screed and a water damage were not communicated at the time of purchase anyway.
If someone from experience says: yes, that can happen sometimes, then I’ve just had bad luck. If not, I’d consider knocking on the previous owner’s door.
PS: No foundation cracks known or found in the condominium owners’ association.
