How slanty is slanty?
I litigated a case a while back where a builder botched the foundation really, really, bad on a really, really, expensive custom build. An architect determined it needed about 36 pier jacks to keep it from running down the hill it was built on. Around $36K for all of it, IIRC, You would not be looking at much money to jack up that little place. Make the seller pay for it.
A house that old may have leaky water pipes. Some soils expand / contract as they wet / dry. Worth taking a look at.
There may be only one opening to the crawl space. House next door to my office was converted to a commercial application. Has only one crawl space entry that needs to be dug out for someone to get into. So, look hard for the entry. May need a probe.
