Is there a cure for sick houses?

[myfs_93629]

My husband wants us to buy a house that I am convinced is sick, the previous owners made many structural changes to the inside and extended the ground floor. Soon after they did this the husband died of a brain tumour, the wife has since developed breast cancer and the daughter, M.E. ! The house is built on a slope with the garden to the rear sloping downwards, the extension they built caused subsidence which has been underpinned at huge cost. My husband who has seen the good results of Feng Shui in the past, now thinks I am crazy for thinking this about this new house. It is a beautiful house but the well being of my family comes first. Please help and advise me as he wants to move on this house this week, should we avoid it like the plague, is there a cure or could it just be a bad house for that particular family?

Dear Danni,
Truly sorry for the delay in reply, as I had just ran across your posting. Kinda of very busy for the last few weeks.
Usually, if too much alternation especially extending the ground floor, this will often spell calamity or death for the first owner (breadwinner).
This was how, my grandfather came into this same situation:-

A similar neighbour, who also extended the ground floor also came to the same fate:(
The 'good news' is that death often does not occur to the next owner. But however, the next owner often will not be able to `keep' the home due mostly to financial distress.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Danni,
Do you have a layout plan of the past and present renovations done to the home for me to take a closer assessment - of how much extent the new renovation can affect you.
Or simply a picture of the present and if possible any old picture of the past.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Thanks Cecil, for your advice, I will try to get a layout plan of the house for you to take a look at. I must admit though I am a great believer in fate, and if something is meant to happen it will, my husband made an offer on the house in question yesterday which was close to the asking price, and the present owner rejected it :o) This has had the effect that things have a calmed a little and he isn't in such a huge rush now to buy it, but he would still like it. This allows for more time to figure out the feng shui aspects of the house for which I am grateful. And who knows another house that we are meant to have might come on the market in the meantime.
Will be in touch soon,
Regards,
Danni

Dear Danni,
Often, I found out that if the house is yours it's yours. If it is not yours (and perhaps as what you had mentioned) fate; it is good news to hear that the present owner rejected your husband's offer.
Yesterday, I was afraid to mention more of my grand pa's home. He was the first owner, and did not get to see the house being completed.
If one looks carefully at the last few pictures, his funeral procession was shadowed by the uncompleted roof of the new home. A few years later, our business at Change Alley - the second floor - caught fire. Fortunately, the ground floor was ok.
Later, a rich millionare's mistress bought my grand father's home. Guess what, by coincidence, her boyfriend and herself did badly in business.
Subsequently, both my grandpa and my neighbour's home which did extensive renovations to the frontage -- had to be sold.
Here, the owner and subsequent owner -- has to sell it away! And today, in it's place; stands several developments.
In fact, I was quite sad recently, as I had to go close to this place, as a new client had purchased a bungalow; close to my grandpa's home. It brought me sad memories -- of the place where I used to be born and lived for most of my youth.
Going forward, since there is no completed purchase, I appeal you to ask your husband not to pursue with the purchase. (Perhaps, it is a blessing in disguise!)
Are there not any other homes -- worth better consideration... It is still not too late! See if you can truly convince your hubby to look elsewhere!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Danni,
Is there a cure for sick houses?
1. It depends. (On how extensive the renovation is/was).
2. As I do not have a complete picture of how extensive the renovation was against the previous layout, it is difficult to say for sure if there is a cure.
3. In my grandpa's case, there is really no cure; other than to pull it down and rebuilt the home.
4. From your previous description that extensive work was done at ground level... it may seem that way (Para 3) especially if the `head' or profile of the head of the house was `touched' and or became too heavy or disturbed.
5. In my grandpa's example: this is a sterling example that " Flying Star " or " Compass School " Feng Shui will be ineffective.
6. Here, a word of caution for students or those who eat, and live and breathe on JUST Compass School Feng Shui. Here, this is a classic example that Shapes and Forms Feng Shui prevail over any other schools.
7. Applying Flying Star or Compass School Feng Shui is like taking a sugar coated pill.
8. As I mentioned in the past; Shapes and Forms Feng Shui has the highest weightage in Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
