Hello, I bought my semi detached house 15 years ago. Last week I noticed an external crack between the joint that joins my house to the house next door.

I’ve never noticed it before so I don’t know how long it’s been like that. The house was built in the 1930s and is solid brick with no cavity wall.

Does this look like subsidence? Should I speak to a structural engineer? I’d appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.

It looks like the silicone/caulk has cracked where the metal render beading ends.

Assuming that there are no cracks inside, I would not be worried.

What's with all the pipes?
Single shared downpipe often goes in the middle to hide 'the join'

I’m not sure. We don’t have a single shared down pipe. Both houses have two pipes.

Thank you for the reply. There are no cracks that I can see. I can’t see any cracks near windows or in other brickwork either.
It is an old house and some things are a bit off and uneven and it has always been like that and I’ve been here 15 years.

I don't do any work involving hot tubs for moral and ethical reasons.
