We are looking at buying a house built in 1997 here in Kansas City.

We noticed the floor slopes slightly when walking into the kitchen. I even put a pool table ball on the floor to confirm the slope...it rolls towards the wall. The inspector wasn't concerned as he says older houses do that...especially houses this size.
The deck outside is sloped in similar direction but pretty easy to see it's sinking into the ground due to the back support pole not being set properly. We are tearing down and building new covered deck anyway.
The lip from the garage to the driveway has also sank and need to be leveled...the driveway actually sank below the lip slightly. This one I can understand more than the others.
What are your thoughts? Is this something we should be concerned with?
