I have a town house style property. The easiest way to describe it is - it's a 2 floored maisonette with a flat underneath.
In the living room - one floor up from ground level there is a crack above the window.
This is the external type wall so I'm a bit worried about what it is.
I own the house but it's leasehold and includes buildings insurance - so I called the council run department who after some argument sent someone out to look at the front for cracks - ive not heard back! They also say that it's not an external crack so buildings insurance doesn't cover it.
I also then called direct line who I have contends and buildings insurance with. I had a 20 minute argument with someone who continually told me it wasn't subsidence - although he hasn't visited or seen pictures.
These are the images below ... Is it:
A) just a big crack
B) a big crack that's going to cause issues
C) subsidence
D) something else.
