Agent's Note

There was some movement in the Annexe which caused cracking in the walls. An insurance claim and investigation has been completed. Vegetation was removed that was thought to have added to the shrinkage to the ground, causing the rotation and cracking. This was then monitored for a period of time, and has a Certificate of Structural Adequacy. The Annexe was then fully redecorated and floored with new kitchen and new shower room.
