Is it possible to identify structural damage to a house?

Are you asking what structural damage looks like or do you want to know what defines it?

Basically all my floorboards have started to lift as the cold weather has kicked in. I'm identifying more cracks around the house and as live in a terraced house being able to hear the neighbours more. I was wondering whether my house has moved which is causing these problems.

What are the soil conditions in your area - clay?

From building a wall in the garden, and hitting stones when digging the foundations. I never find any cray. I do live on a hill and the houses built behind and infront are tiered.
