Hi.
I am in the process (close to exchange) on a new build property. It is being built by a private developer.
On inspection at the weekend, I noticed some of the bricks are cracked. The mortar around them is not cracked. There are quite a few cracks in generally ad hoc locations, with at most two bricks nearby cracked. I have attached photo example.
Clearly a proper survey is sensible but interested in views. Is this a case of poor bricks/mortar combination leading to cracks due to normal expansion etc?
I have put these to the developer and am waiting for a response.
