Thanks to everybody for all your replies.
I have organised a surveyor to come out and monitor the crack. We called in a builder today from a few properties down and he reckons it is structural :eek:
The crack is right through the brickwork not just the plaster and is definately travelling down to the floor.
Withabix - the property is over 100years old , if it does need underpinning what work is required and is it disruptive ?
Like EmilyT I am absolutly dreading the outcome :eek:Moneysaving? - I cant stop spending because of this site!0 -
Kind of good news for us. Although there is slight subsidence we were told that it is nothing to worry about. Just told us to keep an eye on the situation. Just suggested that we replace the cracked bricks. At least we haven't got a £1000 bill. For now anyway.
