    Wouldnt your first call be to the inspector? Always follow up an inspection report with a phone call to talk through it.

    Would depend on the age of the house and what else is in the report as some.of those houses in that area would be over 25 years old ..imho.

    Doesn't seem catastrophic right now, but subsidence in the foundation is a major risk with that style of home- especially in Ipswich. You should look really carefully at that buy before proceeding.
