Hoping someone can help out here. Posted a while back re this but noticing more now. I have a 1969 build semi detached house which we bought at the start if this year. Full structural survey done with no major issues reported.
Since moving in I noticed cracks appearing firstly in the hall way on the artex finished wall. I marked these and it did get bigger (horizontal crack although not that thick was running close to the ceiling). I first noticed these in the warm summer and as it cooled the cracks seemed to disappear slightly but if you looked closely were still there.
Since this has happened I have been looking around the house and noticed cracks in most rooms, one bedroom has a vertical crack from the bottom right corner of the window to the skirting board (plastered wall). When I knock on this wall it sounds hollow.
I have since noticed some cracks appearing on the ceilings in other rooms and around the front door etc and obviously starting to worry a bit. There is also a small hairline crack developing from the corner of the room in one bedroom which seems to be curving out.
There are no visible cracks on the outside brickwork.
Any advice? I will be pretty annoyed if it's something major and the survey hasn't picked up on this.
Thanks in advance.
