My wife and I are looking at a house built in 1870. We both love teh older colonial homes. Some of the floors are uneven/not level, however the sellers have lived there for 30 years with no problem. They are reporting that it's settled and secure.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I know leveling the floors out is a big undertaking, but my wife and I are more than willing to live with it, assuming that it's structurally sound.
What do I want to look for to make sure that it's not going to be an issue down the road? I know to check the joists in the basement to see what shape they're in, but any other input/stories/advice is helpful.
We will be having the house inspected pre-purchase of course, but any help is helpful! :)
