We are looking at the condos on Crooked Gulley Circle in Sea Trail.

Does anyone have any information or prior experience with the condos on Crooked Gulley Circle that have the Crawlspace? Does anyone know why those are built on a crawlspace while all the other condos in the neighborhood seems to be built on a slab? We found a first floor that we are interested in but it has sloping floors. Are the sloping floors normal from settling or are there issues (flooding, sinkholes and etc) in that area that we should be concerned about? We like the Sea Trail neighborhood and would like to buy in there but want to make sure we are not looking in the wrong area.

Would love to hear others thoughts.

A sloping floor sounds like a serious structural issue with the whole building. I would ask for an inspection of the unit before I considered buying it. If it affects the whole condo building, I would run away from it.

How much slope is there? How did you measure it? For example, if there is a quarter inch gap in the baseboard, it could be normal settling.

If it is much more, and you can feel it as you walk across the floor, I would be more concerned.

Since settling affects the whole building, you can't fix just one unit. The condo association would have to fund it, and I think that would be a big problem.
