Is it a crack?

Hello everyone,
I am about to buy a house, all approved so we are just awaiting as it is a chain.
Today we went to view the house again and I noticed that the house attached to it has something that looks like a crack. No idea.
We asked to do the basic evaluation and they have not spotted anything wrong with the house.
Anyone able to shed some light please?
Thank you

Difficult to see from photo. I have known dangling aerial leads be mistaken for cracks in photos.
Have you seen the crack first hand? Surely you can tell if it is a crack or not? What shape is it? Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, following mortar, through bricks? Give us some clues at least.0 -
I don't know what you're referring to.I can tell you that they either they had a leaky gutter for a while. Maybe they still do.Other than that, I see wires. Cracks don't tend to follow straight lines.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Thanks for answering me.
I will take a good picture so you can have a better idea.0 -
House appears to have pre-cast concrete gutters - If so don't touch it.

Yes, I heard that pre cast concrete are not good, which is now making me uncomfortable as it can cause a lot o troubles including creating condensation to the interior of the house. I guess it is to late nowdogshome said:House appears to have pre-cast concrete gutters - If so don't touch it.

Don't bother posting another picture. If you are concerned about structural problems, use your time profitably to go back there with a professional. You have had a full survey, haven't you?0
