How bad are these walls? 1930s

Hey all!
We are look at a 1930s semi detached. Our level 3 survey has come back and the largest area of concern is that of the external walls. I am by no means a structural engineer, and I may need to get one out to look at it, but I would appreciate any input from those who know better. I can negotiate with the vendor if large works are needed, but I'm trying to determine if it's worth the effort in the first place. Thanks!

Sorry, posted thread in wrong section0

There's a lot of work needed to get them looking half decent, so I suppose the cost depends on how much you are willing to DIY. Unfortunately most of the work done on the brickwork has been rough. Looks like next door has a bay window.0

My concern is that the missing mortar seems to be in a wide verticle line. Why is that?And patching replacement of bricks elsewhere. Why?Then there's a pipe opening part way down below a horizontal line of newer bricks. Is that just a bathroom pipe exit or has one been installed to release flood water or to ventilate?
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
