Thank you for your reply I’ll get some pictures, but it’s quite tricky to capture the slants on pictures. Is there any particular information about the property you need?

Hey there, firstly, thanks for taking the time out to read my message. I have spent a small fortune trying to find the issue with my property and don’t really have any more funds. I have tried to include as much information as possible below Hey! I purchased a property a couple of years ago. It is a three storey terraced house built in the 1950s/1960s. The front and back do the house are not brick, but instead have cladding and underneath that, I presume, wooden battens, some kind of waterproofing material etc. (I’m sure there is a fancy word for this!). I have spoken to a few people about my issues and the house in general who all inform me that the house is ‘uniquely’ built - from the roof ‘they don’t make roofs like that now, if the roof comes off, the whole house will fall’ to the fact there are no supporting walls and the joists go from one part of the house to the other. Anyway to my issues! There is slopping from both sides of the property which is evident by the windows on each end of the property slanting. Floors and ceilings also slant - I don’t think there is a straight room in the house! I had a survey done on the property before I purchased which said everything was fine and no structural issues. When I moved in, I got more and more obsessed, by the slanting windows, ceilings and floors and purchased another survey by a structural engineer (cost a fortune!) who advised they couldn’t see anything structurally wrong. I just can’t get it out of my head thinking something must be causing this? This could be our forever home, but I’m finding it really difficult to feel at home here with all these issues and no answers. The home did have a lot of work to be done, so as we are renovating rooms, we are putting in sub ceilings and levelling floors, but I’m not really comfortable just hiding a problem ( if there is one!) There are 12 houses on the street built like this and from my observations ( by just looking at them from outside and having the opportunity to go inside some) - the ones that have not had work done to them in recent years all suffer with the same issues. Has anyone any ideas? Thanks so much!
