I went to look at an 'investment' property last year.
It had a big crack down the outside of the building. The estate agent didn't think it would be that costly (after all he was an expert in sales). I took a builder friend and he advised the only fix was to knock half of the house down i.e. spend 10s of thousands, certainly more than house price plus maximum profit.
Someone else bought it and covered the crack with chipboard. I'm sure this would have tricked any surveyor
