Deflection to areas of brickwork

What does this mean?
It cropped up on a valuation but was said to be longstanding, non progressive and did not pose a special insurance risk.
The likelihood of further significant movement seems remote and no structural works are required. A specialist report is not needed also.
Will an insurer still be happy with this

It means some of the brickwork appears to be further outside "true/square" than would normally be the case.

I can't say.
Forward a copy of the report to your insurer and they will tell you.

Its shouldn't be a problem unless its caused by Subsidence or Heave but some insurance companies ask the question "Do any walls show signs of bulges or cracks?"0
