Slanted windows?

I have noticed that the 2 bathroom windows appear to be slanted and the bottom of the window is lower on the left than the right. This wall is the back wall of the house. But to look at the windows, they look like they are lower on the bottom left than the rest.
We have noticed a few architraves upstairs are slanted too, but I think this may be something to do with the beam that is underneath in the room downstairs which was done many years ago by the previous owners.
The floors are a bit bouncy upstairs, but I think this is due to under sized joists and is something which annoys me but I can live with.
There are no noticeable cracks inside or out on this wall (there was a crack around in the plaster around a breeze blocks mortar to the left of the window in the bedroom that is also on this back wall). There have been a few other cracks but nothing too much. There was a crack coming from the lintel in the bedroom along the back wall, which we have filled in.
Cannot see any cracks outside on this wall outside.
Does this slanting of the windows, but no cracks mean there could be subsidence?
There have been some cracks in the plaster board in the ceilings (was plastered) but I think this is the plasterboard joints.
The windows could have been like this for a while but I have just noticed it.
