I bought an apartment about 2 years ago, and have been moved in about 10 Months now. When i did my snag there were several cracks in the walls, two major ones in the parity wall betweeen me and the apartment next to mine, they went from the floor to the ceiling and were about 1mm wide. The builder fixed all of these but warned me they might come back and to be careful with the heating in the apartment for the first few months.
Anyhow about 4 Months ago the major cracks had returned and had opened out again, and the builder came to fix them. He said they shouldn't come back again.
however they are starting to appear again in exactly the same place, along with a few more in the ceiling and other places.
I know that a certain amount of cracks are inevatible, but how long should it take before everything settles down, and should I expect the builder to come back again to fix these, as i am guessing he will probably tell me this time to wait and fill them in myself. They don't bother me too much, but if they open out again to the extent that they were they will look dreadful (one of them is in the main wall in my living room..pretty hard to hide).
Thanks
