Hello All,
I'm looking to possibly purchase a house with a cracked slab.
My questions are :
2) How will this affect selling the house when I try to sell it in the future?
Thanks in advance,
K.
No answer, but I have one more question for you to ponder in your decision: Are utilities (water/sewer) buried in the section of slab anywhere near the cracking? If so, it could mean bigger probs down the road..

NO!
You have to disclose the repair and it will decrease the value substantially.
Depends on the size (width) of the crack.
Can you give us a better idea of what you mean by cracked slab? Down here in FL it is hard to find a slab without a crack in it somewhere.

Cracks might be okay as long as it hasn't shown recent enlarging, also check around the floor for water marks/stains. Will the current owners put in writing about water penetration? Cover your behind.
