Bay Window Movement

[HOUSER1980]

Hi,
Receny has a survey done on a house and it's been noted that there is structural movement on the front bay window with a cracked stone cill and movement to brickwork. Is this a show stopper or a negotiation tool. Looks like it's been like that for a good while with paint showing in the crack.
Thanks

negotiation tool if you want the house.

Is it full height bay or just ground floor? If ground floor then probably negotiation tool, if full height then could be a bit more serious. Don't believe anything from householder about its been like that for ages etc etc- they would say that wouldn't they?
