  • I would be inclined to speak to the vendor to see if it came out when they bought the house. If they did, they will have a report from the time, which any structural engineer will be able to compare with today's position. They may also be willing to meet some of the cost of this, as it will be necessary whoever they sell it to

    If they are able to confirm there is no movement, and that it is historic, there may be some work needed, which is likely to be disprutive, and you'll need to work out with the vendors who pays or if the price is discounted. Do also check that the Halifax will be OK to lend if the report comes back OK. You'll almost certainly need to notify any buildings insurers.

    Not a show stopper, but rather dependent on the results of the report I'm afraid
    So many glitches, so little time...
