A Common problem in newer homes is cracking ceramic tile floors. This is not a structural problem but a failure to recognize that titles cannot tolerate much deflection without cracking. The subflooring should be more rigid to prevent cracking. If the ceramic tile has been laid properly and with proper backing ceramic tile should last for several years. The subfloor composition can sometimes be determined by lifting floor heating or cooling registers. Other floor openings may also allow checking the subfloor. Ceramic tile is less likely to crack if supported properly from below the floors surface.
As you do your property evaluation, notice as you walk on the floors if there is a sponginess to them, This can be caused by insufficient support from below the floors surface. This sometimes can be caused by the floor joists being placed too far apart. This can be corrected with the help of a handyman or contractor for minimal cost.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!
