Advice on Victorian teraced house

)Hello all
Can anyone advise on a few issues with a victorian terraced house?
House is about 100 years old. Built on a fairly busy rd.
The staircase seems very steep, feels like your falling backward when walking up them. The pitch angle is wrong.
Noticed the lower door frame (walkway from hall to rear reception room) next to the 1st step on staircase, is also sloped matching the staircase angle.
The hallway floor leading to the staircase is also not flat, its angled again running to the right.
Could it be a shift in the building structure?
Is this common?
There are damp patches on the internal partition wall above the suspended floor In the front room.
Are these fixable?
is a house more prone to damp, if any of the lower floors are not solid i.e suspended with wooden beams?
Id like to hear back if anyone can advise.
Thanks
