We completed on a house purchase. Got a full building survey and a week after completion we have a leaking roof which wasn't picked up in the survey.
Most worryingly, I have noticed some cracks to the front elevation all on the right hand side of the house and none on the left. The survey pointed out the bowed lintel above ground floor window but just said to keep monitoring and eventually replace. No structural movement was mentioned. Bearing in mind that the survey was completed 3 months ago and we have had the house for less than 30 days should the cracks have been picked up? Could they happen so quickly.
Do we have movement and if so is it serious? What do I do next? Thank you so much.
