Cracked Mortar on New Build

[Surrey1972]

Hi
I would appreciate some advice.
I bought a new build house a little over 4 years ago. I have recently noticed cracking in the mortar between some of the bricks on one side of the house. The cracking appears to be below the DPC. The cracks run about 5m along the length of the wall, roughly halfway. The attached photos show the cracking. There is also a couple of spots where small chunks, about 1cm in length, have fallen out further up the wall. Should I be worried or is this normal settlement cracking? Should I get this repaired,
Thanks

It's the DPC and normal

It's the DPC and normal

Is it normal for the DPC to be mortared/pointed over like that? I thought it was usual to leave the DPC exposed to prevent moisture tracking?

Yes it's normal. Whether its correct is down the the site quality management or specification.

Hi
Thanks for the replies. Quite relieving that the cracks are normal and nothing to worry about.
Cheers
